Question

Possible to use Reconfigure to have one configuration that pulls a local license, and another that pulls a license from a license server?

I have a user who is working remote.  He has a laptop with a local license that works for most applications.  Occasionally he needs to use a license we only have on the license server as a floating license.  Is it possible to have two configurations; one that pulls from the local file, and the other that pulls from the license server?

Scott,

Yes, you can create two configurations for Creo start. This all needs to be done using reconfigure.exe which is in <Install dir>\parametric\bin.

Once you will execute reconfigure.exe move to second window > Add License server (which will provide additional license) > Next > Customize Application > Command Configuration > Add > Change Description and name of command > Have required license in left which is needed for that specific startup command > Ok > Ok.

This will create two commands and which user will execute Creo there will a window to select start command.

I hope this will help.

This is exactly what I have tried.  Once the license server is installed however, the local license is ignored and it always pulls a license from the server.

Scott,

Try making changes for license priority in PSF files (available in bin folder).

Edit line for PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE

ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE-=7788@LOCAL_LICENSE_SERVER;7788@REMOTE_LICENSE_SERVER
