How to tell which extensions and options have been installed
remote user contacted me about two computers they use for simulation that are running Creo 5.0.1.0. All the workstations I knew about have been upgraded to Creo 9.0.4.0 and we'd like to upgrade these two computers to 9.0.4.0.
How can I see which extensions, options, etc were installed with 5.0.1.0 so I can make sure to enable the same extensions with 9.0.4.0?

The options should be listed in the pma.p.xml file in the <loadpoint>\Creo #.#.#.#\Parametric\bin\pim\xml folder.

I think this is what I'm looking for. There are a lot of lines with a package name and a Y or N for 'install', such as this:
<PACKAGE helptext="Use G-Post â„¢ for post processing NC cutter location (CL Data) data files." hidden="N" install="Y" label="NC-GPOST" name="gpost" parent="creooptions" required="N">
I assume install="Y" means the package was installed.

You could look in:
<Load Point>\Creo 9.0.x.0\Parametric\bin
There should be at least one .psf file in this directory. I have three, so when I start Creo, I'm asked which configuration I want to start with. Each of the files will cause a set of options to be loaded. The line in the file that specifies which license(s) they're going to be using is the one that starts with
ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=
If the license file used for Creo 5 has the same options as the one for Creo 9, they might even be able to copy the Creo 5 .psf files into the directory for Creo 9.

Hi,
I think it is not possible to find out, which items were selected during installation.

In Creo, File-Help-System Information. It will generate a text file in your working directory of the installed modules.
There are many sub-modules that get installed at installation that you do not know them all from the install scripts.

Oh, nice! I've already upgraded them to 9.0.4.0 now, but I'll keep that in mind for next time!

Actually, the FILE > HELP > SYSTEM INFORMATION data, while it says, "The following Creo Parametric options are installed", reflects which licenses you have active for your current session. You will see the listing change based on which licenses you're running (either selected at startup or floating modules grabbed in session), so it's not an accurate listing of what components are installed.
