Solved: Re: Licensing error

skyline · ‎Oct 27, 2018

I had creo installed on my desktop and it worked completely fine. However, I recently performed a clean install of windows 10 and tried reinstalling creo 5 but keep getting an error during the licensing stage of the installation.

I have followed this document: https://apps.ptc.com/schools/references/install_creo5_unistudent_standard.pdf#_ga=2.111497284.1154185903.1540655366-485506032.1540655366 until step 4. I type in the product code, I get prompted to login and once I do I get an error message (see attached picture).

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Hi,

this error was reported in the past many many times. Probably it is related to network card detection problems during creo installation.

---

In the past user received license file via email after some time ... please check your email "box".

If licensing email is present then save its attachment to local disk. The run installation again. Do not enter Product Code, instead of this enter path to license file into Source field in License Summary section of installer window.

---

If you do not have license file then open DOS prompt window, run ipconfig /all > ip.txt command and upload ip.txt file - I willl check its contents.

Hello,

I am a student and have the student version installed. When I open Creo Parametric 5.0, I get a message that the license expires in one day. When extending this license, after I have entered the username and password, I get the error message: Customer not identified.

What did i wrong?

Hi,

uninstall Creo 5.0 and follow instructions written in https://apps.ptc.com/schools/references/install_creo5_unistudent_standard.pdf

Hi There,

I just recently installed Creo 6.0 Student version and am trying to open it up after the install.

I am getting a licensing error. i was emailed a license file, just wondering where to save if on the drives so i can open that path in the setup.exe.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

my suggestion follows:

uninstall Creo 6.0
save emailed license file to local disk to any directory ... eg. C:\PTC\license_files
- I hope that during first installation you entered Product code BE600908EDSTUDENTEDK12 or BK600908EDSTUDENTEDUNI
install Creo 6.0 to non-default directory ... eg. C:\PTC\CR6
do not enter Product Code, instead of this enter path to license file into Source field in License Summary section of installer window

my suggestions:

Disable following network cards:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 2 ... TAP-Windows Adapter V9
Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 14 ... Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #5
Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 15 ... Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #6
Ethernet adapter Bluetooth Network Connection 2 ... Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) #2

Disable IPv6 protocol for following network card

Restart PC

Remove all files from C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory.

Uninstall / Install Creo

I didn't receive any license via email. Also, I tried the other step and is not working either.
