Creo 3.0 Student Premium?

Hi all

I've just downloaded (for £185ish) the student premium version of Creo 3.0, but it doesn't seem to offer either the NC milling or injection moulding processes that I actually need for uni. I'm curious if it's maybe just an error I've made during installation or if it actually doesn't offer 80% of the functionality that students need?

Thanks for any help...

    Hi,

    if you go to PTC Webstore and activate Key features tab, then you will see contents of the Premium license. NC manufacturing and Mold is not present.

    Hi,

    did you check your license file, if it contains needed modules. Please publish picture of contents of your license file.

    Thanks for the quick reply Martin

    I'm not really sure what to look for, but this is what's in the downloaded file:

    If you can point me in the right direction I'll have a look for whatever you need to know...

    For example we need the mold cavity option which is grayed out here, which is basically an entire module for uni which I can't do at home:

    Thanks again

    Hi,

    look at the following picture...

    The picture says that your installation uses two license files located in C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory.

    Please open them in Notepad, we need to locate lines beginning with INCREMENT keyword.

    Maybe BW*license.dat contains Premium license. If this is true then you will need to modify parametric.psf file to use info from this file.

    Two important lines in parametric.psf file are:

    ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE-=path_to_licence_file

    ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=Creo_License_name ()
