Newbie question on Creo 2

pbrown · ‎Oct 23, 2012

Hi All,

First time here.

I work at a High School and I have installed Proptcsever, Creo 1? I have just recieved Creo 2.0 as an upgrade.

My question is: Do I install Creo 2 and will it automatically upgrade the original server package or do I have to uninstall the original and start all over again??

Many thanks in advance

Paul

Hi Paul,

basically your run the Creo 2 software on whatever system you want to upgrade the software on. Select the same loadpoint for whatever portion you are installing.

I'm guessing "Proptcserver" is the licensing software (FlexLM). You'll want to run the installer on the server and select the "License Server", making sure to choose the original location on the server to install the software.

Pretty much the same thing for installing Creo 2 on a client that currently has Creo 1 running on it.

For getting help from people more familiar with the installation for schools, you'll probably want to make future posts in the "Schools Program" discussion here http://communities.ptc.com/community/academic-program/schools-program

Good luck,

Josh

Thanks Josh on both accounts.

I will install and see how I go.

I wasn't too sure if could install over the top of the existing software etc and unsure if I needed to gain another licence etc for the new update.

Thanks again, I will post here with my outcomes.

Hi Paul,

you will most likely need to request a new license file.

Generally an updated license file is required for new releases.

Thanks Josh for your help on this..something I almost forgot to ask, I will be on to the licence very shortly.
