Hi,

PTC does not support M1 processor.

You can try unofficial solution mentioned by kszemes user in https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Education-Forum/Can-t-open-Creo-Parametric-9-0-0-0/m-p/896107/emcs_t/S2h8ZW1haWx8dG9waWNfc3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ufExMUE0zRUhIUUsxN0JPfDg5NjEwN3xTVUJTQ1JJUFRJT05TfGhL#M13886 discussion.

Creo on mac M1 might not be supported however

if you browse to c/program files/ptc/creo/9.x.x.x/parametric/bin/paramaetric.psf

windows 11 is supported from v9

open the file parametric.psf and insert

ENV=PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTUREØAMD64
ENV=PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=x86e_win64

so it looks like this

save file

it will run if you have a legitimate license
