Hi,

this message tells you that Creo cannot find network card mentioned in license file.

1.]

License file is located in hidden C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory.

You can open license file in Notepad and locate PTC_HOSTID= text. Equal sign is followed by MAC address of network card.

2.]

You can open Command prompt window and launch ipconfig /all command in it. Command output contains list of all network cards installed in your computer.

3.]

MAC address mentioned in license file must exist in ipconfig /all command output.

Thank you so much for your reply. The MAC address does exist in ipconfig/all.  Does different Networks have different MAC addresses, because this warning occurs everytime when I am using Creo not at home. I sometimes have to work on my project at school or at a coffee shop so do I have to change the MAC address from the located Network in PTC_HOSTID= ?

 

Again thanks for your reply and help

std.out file says:

 

"License request failed for feature

Requesting CREOPMA_SchoolSTD6 ...
C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing\xxxxxxxxxx_license.dat: (-9) Invalid host.
Run ptcstatus.bat for server status.Old Intel Graphics driver found; Disabling FBO. Please update your driver"

 

I do not have the Option "Power Management" at Wifi properties...

 

When I am dissconnecting from School Wifi I still get the same warning. Afterwards I get 2 more Errors that says "AFX könnte nicht geladen werden" and "IFX könnte nicht geladen werden" sorry it is in german it means like AFX cannot open and IFX cannot open. But i got these two warnings before too.
