Solved: VB API for Creo Parametric

Matteo_1987 · ‎Oct 06, 2021

Hello everyone , I wanted to know is if the extension to interface externally with creo through script in VB (the so-called API) are included in the basic license or if they are license extensions?
In the second case, what license are we talking about?

The Creo WebLink (Javascript), JLINK (Java), and VB APIs are free and included with base Creo Parametric. The hurdle to using the VB API is that it probably needs to be installed (requires admin privileges) and properly setup - CS141739. This would need to be deployed to every Creo install that you wish to use your VB API utility. You can connect to the VB API from multiple programming languages including VBA/Excel.
