Merge/inheritance feature missing in Creo 6.0 upgrade

[Blackhawk]

Hello All,

We have a PTC service contract where we can upgrade to the latest Creo version.  We were quite behind on this so we jumped from Creo 3.0 to 6.0.  One thing that we have noticed is that we lost access to the Merge/Inheritance feature when we moved to Creo 6.0.  I am not our administrator and that person recently left the company.  My understanding is that the Merge/Inheritance feature is only available with the Creo Design Advanced license tier.  We are running Creo Design Essentials (T1). 

If we had Merge/Inheritance with Creo 3 under the same license contract, why did it go away when we moved to Creo 6.0.  Did the creo package tiers exist with Creo 3.0?  Did our company drop our tier level down on the last license renewal?

@Blackhawk, Pro/ASSEMBLY license module or Advanced Assembly Extension license is required to access the options Merge/Inheritance, Publish Geometry, Copy Geometry and Shrinkwrap.

You can open the license file using a notepad and check under license summary of the Advanced Assembly Extension is available.

1. Reconfigure Creo Application with the above mentioned license, if you already have the license with you.
2. You can also check if the above license is compaitble with Creo Parametric 6.0 or only Creo 3.0
3. If the license is not available please contact PTC sales.

The "inheritance" part of this feature should be available, even If You did not own the "Advanced Assembly Extention".
