Creo Agent (nearly) always fails on Win10 Home

[BergMax]

Hi,

at first, I know that Win10-Home is not supported by Creo (see Creo4 hardware notes), but somtimes ist works on Win10-Home without any problems. Mostly "Creo Agent could not be registered" or somethig like that occurs.

Nearly every student has an own laptop but in 99% with Win10-Home as OS.

Are there any hints or tricks to get Creo work on Win10-Home? I don't understand that PTC gives the software to students for free but the OS the students normaly use is not supported...

Thanks for comments and tips

Hi,

my suggestion no.1 ... do not install Creo into C:\Program Files directory.

• create C:\PTC directory (for example) and add full access rights into it
• create C:\PTC\Creo4_M130 subdirectory (for example)
• install Creo 4.0 into C:\PTC\Creo4_M130 directory
