Question

Installing Creo 2.0 on second computer

Trying to install Creo Parametric 2.0 for a colleague (let's assume Aydee). Aydee is already using Creo on his work laptop, but it is slow, for the work he does. Very slow. I and Aydee would like for him to try Creo on a desktop computer, and see if it runs faster than on his laptop. The software installation is asking for a license. Should I enter the PTC Host ID for Aydee's laptop?

I have my license on the laptop, so I can use it after hours as I am on 24/7 call, but like you I found it to slow for day to day operation.

My main PC IS 64 BIT , so I can make use of the full memory, 32bit is restricted to 3g

When you set it up and it asks for the license, you need to point it at the laptop name that has the license file, it should find it and return 7788@ "pc name".

As long as the laptop is running and only one version of Creo is open, it shouldn't be an issue

Please see attached image, for the license prompt. What should I click on, to browse for the license?

You need to click in the source feild and type in the 7788@ "pc-name", or enter the the path to the license file

it should then come back as the following

and that is all you need to do, so find out the host name of the laptop and add it after 7788@

and it should work
