Dear Community
The license file "license.dat" includes licenses for several creo tools not included in the creo student version I used beforehand.
The problem is:
After having declared the path, the status changed to Starting... (see image below) however afterwards didn't (even after hours) switch to Succeed.
Among others I also crated a text file "license.txt" and reinstalled creo several times (deleting all related data).
Is there any literature related to this issue. Most contend (like manuals) is not availaible for student users.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance!
Stephan
Hi,
to be able to tell you what is going on I need to see the contents of your license file.
MH
Here you are
I hope these are the contents you referred to.
I intentionally changed the Host ID and the Contract to "..."

Thank you for your answer!

Stephan,
Check if there is any existing PTC License server, if any, uninstall that. and try reinstallation
Hi,
all your licenses are floating according to information you provided (lines beginning with # are comments).
The license file must contain two lines similar to following ones
SERVER __HOSTNAME__ PTC_HOSTID=00-11-22-33-44-55 7788
DAEMON ptc_d __PTCD_PATH__
Instead of 00-11-22-33-44-55 SERVER line must contain MAC address of network card installed in your computer. This card must "alive", this means you have to see it in ipconfig /all command output.
Note: Follow Mahesh Sharma advice and check if FLEXnet uis already installed on your computer. Open list of installed programs and check if you can see PTC License Server... item -OR- FLEXnet Admin Version... item. Unistall the item and repeat installation procedure.
MH
Hallo,
I haven't got a program called FLEXnet and I can't install it either (I am using a student version download file/ it doesn't seem like there is a way to obtain it from there).
The file license.dat is an academic license which I got from my school and I wanted to use for my home-computer for education purposes.
Is it necessary to create a license service (I do not use more than one computer)? Is Node-Locked Licensing not possible?
The email which transferred the license file stated the following:
"
---- Installation Instructions Node-Locked Licenses ----
Most PTC FlexNet enabled products can also utilize Node-Locked license files.
Either of the 2 license licenses file should be saved to the local machine as either license.txt or license.dat.
Example: c:\ptc\license.dat
"
Furthermore the lines
SERVER __HOSTNAME__ PTC_HOSTID=00-11-22-33-44-55 7788
DAEMON ptc_d __PTCD_PATH__
are included in my license file. And my Mac adress is correct.
Thank you very much for your replys.
Stephan
Hi,
if I understand you well, your license file contains SERVER and DAEMON lines. This means you must install FLEXnet license manager at first.
MH
Hallo
It does the same as in my initial question: Starting...
Thank you
Stephan
Hi,
it looks like FLEXnet is already running on your PC. Please open Command prompt window, launch tasklist > tasklist.txt command and upload tasklist.txt file.

Thank you
Hi,
I can't see any sign of presence of license manager. Maybe there is a collision between Creo setup and some of running processes (this is my guess, only). Maybe Creo setup is not able to create system service ?
MH
Thank you very much
Finally it worked after resetting my pc (Initially I wanted to prevent that)
