Creo Parametric Installation Issue (need help please)

Creo Parametric Installation Issue (need help please)

I have run PTC Installer and tried to save the license to the my documents, but it won't appear there.

In an effort to work around this, I ran PTC Installer on my friend's computer and emailed the license to me and continued with the installation. Now, however, the programs will not run because they do not have a valid license.

What should I do? The license won't save to my documents so I have no idea how to retrieve it and install it properly.

FYI: I am using Windows 7 on Parallels 7.

Thank you.

Are you installing Creo 1.0 or 2.0? With Creo 2.0 you drag and drop your product code into the SON/Product code field and your license will be created automatically. Be aware that, once a product code has been used, it is locked to that computer which is why you were unable to move the license from one PC to another. If you need further help or a replacement product code log a request on: http://www.ptc.com/go/academic-support

Creo 1.0.

I have tried, but the license is not being saved to my computer.

Have you tried web page license request.
