Photo-Realistic Rendering in Creo 4.0 F000 is not starting

[rsobecki]

Hi!

does anyone successfully run Photo-Realistic Rendering in Creo 4.0 F000???

When I press at button no action happen???

I tried with both advance renderer licenses I got and no positive results - only license visible consumption ;-(

is this a bug in this first F000 release of Creo 4.0?

There was a long discussion here Re: Creo 4 Photo-Real Rendering - Anyone Try yet?

Maybe a license update is needed.

Thanks for your feedback - we'll investigate and check if license update will help!

The Photo-Realistic Rendering requires the Advanced Render III license.  This is a known issue and Tech Support has filed SPR 6327272 against the lack of a missing license message when attempting to access this function.

You are right - I can confirm this - thanks!

only pity is if I'm accessing my machine using remote desktop, Creo crash when I click at Photo-Realistic Rendering

Perhaps it is because as I'm guessing hardware accelertion is set to off or something...
