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.

Hi,

Q1: Is Creo7 license locked or floating ?

Q2: What network card is mentioned in Creo7 license ?

If you want to run Creo 3.0 and also Creo 7.0 on your computer then you do not have to use Creo 3.0 license. You only need a Creo 8.0 license.

 

To implement this variant, the following steps need to be performed:

1.] uninstall installed FLEXnet license manager

2.] download installer of latest FLEXnet license manager

3.] unzip downloaded file and run setup.exe to install FLEXnet license manager

... use Creo 8.0 license file

4.] run ptcstatus.bat from FLEXnet installation to very that PROE_EssentialsI license is available.

5.] Creo 3.0 ... open psf file in Notepad and and make sure it contains following line

ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_EssentialsI ()

6.] start Creo 3.0

7.] Creo 7.0 ... open psf file in Notepad and and make sure it contains following line

ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_EssentialsI ()

8.] start Creo 7.0
