Creo 7 startup

Question

I downloaded and installed Creo 7 the other day and put in a new license file for Creo 7. When I go to start Creo 7, I get an AFX and IFX not licensed error and the program then exits. I do not have licenses for these products, so not sure why Creo 7 is looking to start them.
I then ran Creo 4 on the same machine (my Windchill server) and it started up fine.
Has PTC done something wrong in Creo 7 that is looking for licenses and then failing if they are not found, even if not license?.

Hi,1.] I am able to start Creo 7.0 with license which does not contain AFX and IFX modules.2.] I would say that I met your "error" when I started Creo 7.0 for the first time ... the cause of my problem was that the license server was not up and running.So ... check whether Creo 7.0 license is accessible.
