David, Edwin, Eric, Christopher, Doug, and others...
Thanks for the feedback on the Manikin Lite restriction. I'm working on my presentation at PTC/USER, and one of the things that I will mention there is that we're in the process of removing this limitation. I figured I would let all of you know that this change will most likely appear in Pro/E Wildfire 4.0 M110 later this summer.
I apologize for the lost work and productivity that you might have suffered because of this limitation. We expected the message to be clear, but it obviously wasn't, so we will be removing the limitation entirely. This means there will be no artificial limits on your typical file operations when you insert the trial version of a manikin.
Hopefully this addresses the majority of your concerns.
I look forward to seeing many of you in Orlando next week at PTC/USER. If you are unable to attend, but are interested in "following along", there are a lot of great ways to do so this year. While I wouldn't guarantee that we will match the quality of the posts we used to get from Peter Nurkse back in the day (Hello, Peter, if you're out there!), there will be many folks, including myself, tweeting and blogging from PTC/USER.
