Hello NW_11186360.
I may need a few more details: How much time did you give Windchill to start? It can take 3-7 minutes for you to get beyond the "Service Unavailable" message in the browser, but it also can take up to 10 minutes. I usually launch the VM from the Desktop option and simply read the first few pages of the class guidebook for a few minutes.
Occasionally, Windchill services fails to start. It will continuously loop around the dos window.
If it seems to be taking a long time, here are a few troubleshooting options:
- End your VM session and launch again. In the VM toolbar, go to Profile > End Session. This is the fastest route.
- Open the Windchill Shell and use the windchill stop/windchill start commands. There is a shortcut on the desktop for this utility.
