A license is required. See this link for details.

Hi,

unlock action is usually done be application creator.

Are trying to use a Toolkit app in a Creo session or are you needing to access the Toolkit API to develop a custom application?

If you need to register an application (protk.dat) then see this link. You do not need a toolkit license to register an app created using the Toolkit API.

Hi,

it is simple ... your application uses functionality which requires TOOLKIT-for-3D_Drawings (FEATURE 222) -AND- you do not have license code for module 222.

You did not paint the whole picture, but I assume you are compiling with the PTC example OTK make file make_otk_examples (C++).
This links with the otk_222.lib, which requires an additional (not just TOOLKIT/OTK) PTC license (💲) for unlocking.

The solution is "hidden" in the first lines of this make file:

# ATTENTION: this makefile assumes that license 222 is available;
# to build without this license, use otk_no222.lib instead of otk_222.lib

So, in your copy of the example make file, replace otk_222.lib with otk_no222.lib, and Bob's your uncle! (unless there is something else wrong... then he is not.)
