Also interested. If possible I would like to teach Creo 5.0 next term, starting last week April 18, and allow students access to a compatible version on their own machines.

Also will there be a simple upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0, or is it a new install?

Will any of the CFD and/or non-mark VR functionality be available in the student version?

I wondered if there was any update on release date for the free student edition Creo 5.0 and what it will include.

Hello,

Sadly I don't have a date yet. I'm still working on including some of the new features into Creo 4.0.

I'll try to update you when we are starting the process, but this will not be too soon. As we always did, there will be a gap between the commercial release and the academic one. I'm doing my best to minimize this gap.

Thanks,

Alex

Thank you for the info. The issue here is that the Academic version of 5.0 has been released, at least to us, and if we are to move it would be nice to give the students some indication of when the student version will be available. Our urgency is that we have a course starting end of April to all our first years in which we will be teaching material, including Sheetmetal, that they will use at the beginning of next year. We could stay with 4.0 but with some of the nice changes in 5.0*, and hopefully a student version of 5.0 before next academic year, it would make some sense to introduce 5.0 to the course now.

See also, https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Academic-Program-Discussions/Creo-5-0-Academic-Licence-What-is-included/m-p/542240#M9807. It would be nice to know whether what we currently have available with

our license is the final offering and what will eventually be available to the students. In particular the CFD and the new way of using AR, the latter offers some interesting educational possibilities.

Many Thanks

Hello,

All the Universities and Schools that purchase University Plus with maintenance, support and eLearning, get access to the new releases when we actually release them for the commercial market.

The problem is that the licenses are not yet fitted with all the new content that will be available, and the Student licenses are not yet ready.

Long story short, we need to create and apply the BOM of Creo 5.0 Academic (not ready yet) to the license that you already have and create the student and schools licenses.

If you need students to have access to Creo at home, you should stick with Creo 4.0 for a short time (untill we finish the student licenses for Creo 5.0). If you don't need the students to work at home, you can simply update and you will get the new features when they will be added.

Thanks,

Alex
