Hi!

I'm Johannes, and I'm currently writing my master's thesis on a Creo Parametric project that I developed during an internship at a company with a commercial license in Creo. Now that I have finished the internship and am no longer employed by the company, I still need access to my Creo files for screenshots and dimensions from the assembly. I downloaded the student version of Creo 9 but cannot open the files I created with the commercial licence. Is there any way or workaround to open the commercial files with the student version? Or is there an affordable licence for about 1 or 2 weeks to upgrade my student licence, allowing me to open the CAD files created with the commercial licence?

I hope someone can help me!

Kind regards Johannes

PTC does have the ability to solve this issue for you. You will need to contact either PTC technical support (you need an account for this) or find a VAR (reseller of PTC products) in your area and consult with them. I would first try to ask for assistance from the company where you created the models if they have an active support maintenance contract with PTC. If they are on maintenance, then they should be able to open a support call with PTC and request that the models be copied and saved in the educational license format.
