Hello,
I'm currently working on Creo3.
I have a licence file for Creo7 (permanent) that I need for a new client.
I d'ont have subscription anymore.
When I'm trying to add this licence file (txt) while installing Creo7, installer seems to freeze.
File is for my computer.
Should I remove my previous licence ?
But I'm afraid to can not be able to work...
Thanks

Hi alls,
I gave up.
The only solution I've found is to reconfigure FlexNet.
I suppress Creo3 licence and add Creo7 when I need it.
