Creo Direct Direct Modeling Express upgrade to latest version

[RJH1984]

Can anyone tell me how to upgrade my Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express? I had been running the free version on a laptop that I replaced and when I loaded Express on the new laptop I got version 8.0. The old laptop has 6.0. I occasionally run the old laptop in my shop to check a model and can't share a model between them due to the difference in versions.

Try looking at the old link in the web archive: https://web.archive.org/

Just to understand your problem: can't you load version 8.0 on your old laptop ?

My question is does the program ever update on it's own, or if not how do I manually update it to the newer version. I want to get both machines up to version 8.

Thanks

It does not update automatically.

You have to download and install another version manually.

I had an issue getting to the download. I got to what I thought was the correct webpage to get the download, but couldn't get the download to work. Can you give me the address to the download?

And if you like to take over your existing customization you can give it a try by copying all files from

• "%APPDATA%\PTC\Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 6.0\60.0"
  to
• "%APPDATA%\PTC\Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 8.0\80.0"

This is working in most cases.
