Hello all,
Does anybody have any experience with a centralized installation of Creo Parametric?
We are looking at installing Creo on the server and then launching parametric.exe via a batch file on the client.
Has anybody done this? Is it possible with Creo 3.0? If so, what is the impact on the network?
Thanks
Tim
We have done this since Wildfire days.
One install, everyone is updated at the same time.
Minimal impact on the network, very little impact for the user when loading new modules while working.
I use a batch file to put a shortcut/icon to the system loaded parametric.bat file on each desktop.
You can get more elaborate with copying files and stuff if you need to keep your users 'in-line'.
We also do this. It works very well when the users have desktop machines that don't need to run Creo offsite (laptops need a local installation). It also helps to have a gigabit network between the server and the computers. The network speed doesn't matter much once Creo is running but it does impact the startup time. For us, 100Mb startup time was around 60 seconds and 1Gb startup time is around 10 seconds.
I also use a custom batch file. It's not necessary, but brings additional flexibility. I do things like cleanup old files, set environment variables, and create folders (if not already present). Having my own script on the front end lets me change what build (or version) of Creo users run without ever changing the shortcut on their desktop. I even have it setup to process command line variables. This let's me use different shortcuts for different groups/departments but still only have one script.
I've attached the launch script and cleanup script. Hopefully this gives you some ideas.
Edit: Also added zip version in case you can't download bat files.
I can't download either! IT has us locked down tight.
Bummer. Here are text versions of both: (this will be long....)

Thank you
Cut and Paste works wonders!
If you want to get really fancy, you can use Windows Offline Files functionality on the client machine, to then cache the network install of creo locally to a laptop drive, borrow a license to the laptop and then work offline without having to do local installs. Also, when the network loadpoint is updated, next time the laptop connects to the network, the laptop cache will get updated
