Starting CREO Parametric to use Premium Pro license

We have a number of Advance Pro licenses and a couple of Premium Pro licenses.  How should the DESC line of parametric.psf look to use a PrmP license?

The DESC line can be anything you want. It has nothing to do with the licenses, it's just a description that comes up if you have more than one .psf file.

The line you want to worry about is the one that specifies the CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME entries. For example like this:

 

ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_EssentialsI PROE_DesignEss ()

 

I don't know what a PrmP license is. You will have to look in your license file to find the correct nomenclature to reference the license you want. It's easiest if you just generate the .psf files from within the PTC configuration utility ("reconfigure", in the same directory as the .psf files). It will allow you to select from the valid licenses you have and will prevent troubles caused by typing errors.

What ever you want it to say! That line does NOT control the license that is being used.

Look further down the file for the ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME line.

You put the license that you want for that .psf file on that line: ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_DesignAdv

If you have multiple licenses, then just add them to that line: ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_DesignAdv PROE_DesignAdvP

The line above will pull DesignAdv licenses until they are used and then pull AdvP licenses up to the limits of the licenses your company owns.

Thank you... I thought this was the way it worked, but I may not have the additional licenses in it.
