Licensing different versions of Creo

We are licensing Creo on the server side, but some of our client PCs are on Creo 7.0 and others are on Creo 4.0.

 

We are going to renew the licenses.

I am concerned that there will be authentication problems if I set up one and the same license on the server side, since each client has a different Creo version. Could you please let me know?

 

Best Regards,

If your license file is for Creo 9 and you just have users who are using Creo 4, they can use that license file. All versions of creo will work against that file.

If you have 2 license files, then you need to do what Martin said and use 2 servers, one for each license file.

As far as I know, the only thing you need to be concerned about is that you have the appropriate licenses for the latest version of Creo you want to run. We were running a license server with valid codes for Creo 7 when we were still using Creo 4.

I don't know what the ramifications would be for Windchill, if you're using that. We don't use Windchill.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks to you, the license seems to be basically compatible.

It's a Japanese article, but I found something helpful...
