I successfully installed Creo Parametric Trial 8.0. How could i install J-Link API for Creo Parametric Trial 8.0? It's not available with suggested installing process.

Thank you in advance

Since Creo 4.0, J-link is now called Object Toolkit Java free (OTK java free).

Read the following articles:

"[Knowledge Hub] Creo Parametric Object TOOLKIT Java Free Central Resource Page": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS320898 
"Creo Object TOOLKIT Java license requirement": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS190307
