As per this topic

 

Having similar issue - I can get the 72 hour key, but I've had to do it for like 3 weekends straight now.  This is the longest run ever, in about 5 years of using this product I can only remember single weekend outages in the past.

 

Creo, gents! You offer a fantastic free use product here - but locking us out when the phone-home connection doesn't work for nearly a month is going to make me finally consider thems other guys I otherwise hate (Fusion, cough).  Please don't make me do that.

 

If keeping a license server active for a free product is too much of a drain, please consider a reasonable hobby-tier purchase! I'd be willing to pay a Benjamin or so for an annual, local license key.

And....how does that help with the license server (STILL) down one more weekend later?

 

C'mon guys. Your free license is extremely generous -- if it needs to stop, then OFFER US A WAY TO WORK OFFLINE even if at some compensation.  This really will push me to Fusion. I have gobs of Creo pkg files I'd rather NOT just export to STL And re-import .... but if you leave me little choice, I am not going to get iced out of my years of work.

 

I can still get the 72 hour keys but the delay is grating. (Yes, first world problems and all that...)
