Question

Creo 4.0 Floating License keeps dropping out

I downloaded the Academic Creo 4.0 Educational Edition.  It seems like my floating license is dropping out or timing out like every minute if I don't perform an action.

If I step away from my computer and come back, it will let me pan/zoom in and out in the 3d model space, but as soon as I do a command..it says I lost my license and retry, then it regains instantly.

 

I do a lot of online gaming so I would know if my internet was going in-and-out.

Hi,

 

what computer is a license server for your Creo installation ?

Just a good ol fashion Windows 7 desktop, the same computer that I am using the Creo Parametric on.

 

I am not trying to do anything fancy, I just installed the Creo Parametric 4.0 on my home computer and loaded the application after using the student edition license.

 

I just literally worked for about 6 hours straight and regained my license about every 2 minutes.

 

It seems to happen on actions.

So how would I go about fixing scenario 2?  Or even verifying if this is really the case?

 

Option 3 is not likely,  I do a lot of gaming online and would have noticed this.

If you are using  a floating license, it might be a server setting.

We actually drop licenses every few minutes on purpose.

 

If we don't do that some users will never let go of licenses.

It becomes a real problem when you have various types of licenses.

 

I'd also definitely check if your network card doesn't go in to sleep mode after a few minutes. Creo doesn't connect to your server all the time like a lot of games and websites does, as you've noticed, it only pings the server once you activate a command.
