Hello,

this is not possible.

See the last section of this document http://www.ptc.com/WCMS/files/129465/en/FAQ_-_Creo_ElementsDirect_Modeling_Express_4.0.pdf

Can Creo Elements/Direct Modeling and Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express run

on the same machine?

Users running the current release of Creo Elements/Direct Modeling can also run Creo

Elements/Direct Modeling Express on the same machine. This is helpful for users desiring home or

personal use licensing. Note that the PK2 format is not transferable between Creo Elements/Direct

Modeling Express and the professional version.

cheers

Thanks Horst. But I find it strange that the data sheet for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express states

Easy upgrade when you're ready to grow

Companies needing more 3D design power can upgrade to the full, professional version of Creo Elements/Direct Modeling when they outgrow the Express edition.

How can there be an upgrade if the files from Express won't go into the full version?
