I can't get a 72-hour activation key for Creo Elements Modelling Express (6) any more , I get a "Cloudflare Internal Error" (Error 500) I've tried re-installing Creo and re-installing Windows (8.1 on a Macbook Pro Bootcamp) but no joy. It was working fine a while ago but I read that they have upgraded their security, maybe that's the cause. I've emptied cache. and tried different browsers. Is there a way to bypass cloudflare?

Hello ptc When trying to activate Modeling Express 6.0, to get my 72 hour key I am getting the following error in my browser "Internal server Error code 500".  As a side note, I have been having to do the 72 hour key for a couple of years now as I get a Proxy Configuration-Connection Failed error for automatic activation. This has not been a big deal as the 72 hour key is a bit of an annoyance but not that big of a deal.  Please see attached screenshots.

I attempted to upgrade from CREO Parametric 11.0.4.0 to 11.0.6.0 this morning. When I go to start 11.0.6.0, it fails to start because it cannot find a .psf file. The only "reconfigure.exe" file I can find is in the C:\Program Files\PTC\FLEXnet Admin License Server\bin folder, which merely shows me the available license server. I cannot uninstall under Windows either. Is there a way to salvage this installation or manually uninstall and start over? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Our IT department is actively working on the Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express issue and we will let you know once the issue is resolved.

I still cannot acquire a 72-hour license due to Cloudflare Internal Error (since Oct 20) despite upgrading to Creo Elements v9 , reinstalling everything , Win 7  up to Win8.1 , back again , back to to Creo v 6  etc etc . But the interesting thing is that I ended up repairing a Macbook Air that had a dead display that I last used three months ago , which had Creo Elements running on Virtual Box , and it re-opened fine without having to acquire a new 72-hour license , because when I shut down VirtualBox I had "Saved The Virtual Machine State" with Creo running on it & without closing Creo , rather than powering off the Virtual Machine. It seems the virtual license doesn't affect Creo on VM's  in the same way or at least not on my setup (I'm using VirtualBox 7 on a 2015 Macbook Air running OS Monterey  & Creo Elements v6. I guess I'll lose it when something crashes as it no doubt will , but till then I don't have to keep trying to get a new 72-hour license. I'm

I am using Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Release 17.0 and Datecode96130I changed the license host from a computer that died to the new device in the PTC licensing management website, but am having issues installing Creo with the new licensing information. I saved the license.txt file to the new device and it keeps telling me that the license server is not reachable, despite the fact that the license server is the local computer.

I am using Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Release Wildfire 5.0 and DatecodeM050Dear Support Team,I would like to request the installation package for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 (Creo Elements/Pro 5.0), along with the compatible version of the FLEXnet License Server, in order to use the perpetual floating licenses we own.Thank you for your support.Best regards,Bompani Team

Please quickly respond regarding the support for CreoElements/Direct License Server 20.8 on Windows Server 2025.In recent years, the servers available for purchase primarily use Windows Server 2025,and it is expected that more customers will be unable to downgrade to 2022 due to compatibility with other systems.

Hello, I'm new here and have downloaded creo elements /direct. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to change this to German. The zip file was labeled EN, I didn't find another one.  mfg

Greetings-I inherited a RHEL 7 license server with several instances of lmgrd running various vendor products including creo. The existing license was expired, got a new license generated changed the Server/Daemon lines for server name/daemon path and restarted the service.  In the logs I see ptc_d exited with status 34 (invalid host) I have verified that the MAC address is correct, and goggled the error. The only reference I see for a status 34 was from 2017/RHEL 6 which I'm skeptical if its still relevant. Downloaded the latest LMGRD & ptc_d from PTC with no change. I'm at a loss on this one, can someone give me shove in the right direction? Thanks in advance,

Hi, How can I check the date code in Creo 8.0.8.0 software?In previous versions, when we open "About Creo," it would show both the version and the date code. However, in Creo 8.0.8.0, it only shows the version(see attached image). Please suggest where we can find the date code.

Is it a PTC error that in the download of version 20.7.1.0 inside the .zip file there is version 20.7.0.0?? in the zip file 20_7_0_1 there is the executable 20.7.0.0in the zip file 20_7_1_0 there is the executable 20.7.0.0 Did they just make a mistake in the name of the file since the dimensions are different?
