How to license Creo Illustrate 8 student edition

[EJ_10304951]

Hi All, 

I have an issue regarding Creo Illustrate 8, After I installed the software Creo Illustrate startup screen appeared. I couldn't find a license file to activate it. Anyone can help me with this please? How can I activate the Student version?

Thanks,

Erandaka.

Hi VladimirN,

Thank you for your kind support. I don't know anything about license server and above information. and actually I don't have a license server name. Could you please tell me can we just open it as a normal software?

Thanks,

Erandaka.

Hi,

did you receive license file copy via email ?

Look into C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory. Does it contain license file ?

Case no.1 ... you have license file containing INCREMENT CREOILLUS_STANDARD line

• set environment variable PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE ... it has to contain path to the license file
• run Creo Illustrate

Case no.2 ... you do not have license file

• download Creo Parametric installation zip file
• unzip it
• run setup.exe and install Creo Parametric
• when finished ... you can see license file in C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory
• set environment variable PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE ... it has to contain path to the license file
• run Creo Illustrate

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much, I didn't receive license file through email. And my computer doesn't contain PTC\Licensing folders, I'll install Creo Parametric first.

If you don't mind could you please tell me how can I do this...

• set environment variable PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE ... it has to contain path to the license file

Thanks, 

Erandaka.
