Question

Installing Creo 2 on a computer running Wildfire 5

I have an updated license file that lists both creo 2 and wilfire 5 but for some reason when I launch creo 2 is says license file not valid. Wildfire 5 works fine with the new license file. How do I make sure the creo points to the correct license file? This is a node locked license for a single laptop so maybe there is an easier way to install them both. Any input would be helpful. We are not on maintenance so trying to figure this out without ptc. Thank you in advance

Are you certain your license file is up to date for the build code of Creo you are using?  Your one license should have access up to m070 of Creo 2, the other one however appears limited to wildfire.

We were sent an m160 cd but really our license should be for whichever the latest version was while we still had current maintenance, correct?

Yes, you should get a copy of M070

Lawrence,

Question no.1: Does your license file contain SERVER and DAEMON lines ?

Example related to my notebook:

SERVER hpmh PTC_HOSTID=1C-C1-DE-BA-30-44 7788

DAEMON ptc_d D:\PTC\flexnet\x86e_win64\obj\ptc_d.exe D:\PTC\flexnet\licensing\ptc.opt port=7789

SERVER LAWRENCE-M4700 PTC_HOSTID=3C-A9-F4-03-9A-28 7788

DAEMON ptc_d "C:\Program Files\PTC\FLEXnet Admin License Server\i486_nt\obj\ptc_d.exe" "C:\Program Files\PTC\FLEXnet Admin License Server\licensing\ptc.opt"

Lawrence,

Question no.2: What number is present in INCREMENT lines in your license file ? To be able to run CR2, the number must be greater or equal to 33.0.

Example related to my notebook:

INCREMENT PROE_FoundationAdv ptc_d 33.0 permanent 1 \

Lawrence,

Seems you had an existing license manager from Wildfire 5.0 and while installing Creo 2.0 you installed newer license manager (Flexnet Admin). This is one of the possible reasons.

1. Check the installed programs on your machine. Does it has Flexnet Admin license server AND PTC License Server .....

If you have both in the list, uninstall the Flexnet admin license server. And reconfigure flexnet license server with new license file.

Lawrence,

I think Mahesh is right. If you need our assistance with finding license managers, please upload the list of programs installed on your PC.

To get such list, download CCleaner - Portable and use Save to text file ... button.

Not yet, gave up for a little bit and used Wildfire for my current project. Will certainly need access to CREO soon. PTC said that my CREO2 license will work for any build code of CREO2.

Yes, Initial doubt about having two license manager is the culprit. You can refer suggestion from Martin or prior to that make a trail with below steps:

1. Copy new license to desktop

2. Stop the service lmadmin_ptc (It will be under system services).

3. Uninstall FLEXnet Admin Version 11.10.1 Datecode [M160]

4. Open license.dat from Flexnet install directory (C:\program files (or x86)\flexnet\licenses) in text editor

5. Copy server and daemon lines

6. Overwrite existing server and daemon lines in new licenses file on desktop with copied lines from old license.

7. Save file as license.dat

8. Rename license.dat in flexnet install directory as license.dat.old

9. Copy license.dat from desktop and place in flexnet\license folder

10. Restart the machine.

I hope this will solve the issue.

Going to try this and see if it works. I also noticed that Mechanica Lite is greyed out under Capability Mode section for some reason. Any idea on why that would be?
