Solved: PTC Creo for University lab

Hi,

Just checking to see if PTC Creo is available for free to install in the university computer labs? Wasn't sure if purchasing a University Plus pack is the only option. If it is available for free, can the license be used on a network license manager?

Hello,

Creo is only free for students. Universities are not allowed to teach Creo using the Student edition (license agreement is that the software is used by students and not by professors or to teach Creo).

The only option for the Universities is Campus Pack (University Plus). That is easy to manage and install, as there is only one license for up to 500 computers (500 floating licenses can allow any number of installs but only 500 users will work in the same time). Also using University Plus you can do silent install for the client computers.

Thanks,

Alex
