Thingworx Navigate Extension vs Installation

[pshashipreetham]

Hi,

I am upgrading a Thingworx from 8.4.2 to 9.3+. The customer was using the Thingworx Navigate extension, and as per them, they did not have any License for Thingworx Navigate,

When I upgrade, the Thingworx Navigate Extension is no longer working due to the Java Version compatibility.

Therefore, I have installed Thingworx Navigate using the installer, but as per Navigate, many features need the Navigate License.

So, has the licensing changed from Thingworx 8.4.2 to 9.3+?

And what is the difference between Thingworx Extension vs Thingworx Navigate installation?

Thanks,

Hello, 

After lots of Research and Articles, below is differences I have:

Thingworx Navigate: This Installer is used to use the Customs APPs that come with Thingworx Navigate installation, not only the Windchill Connectivity, and a license is required to use the features of Thingworx Navigate,

Windchill Extension: These extensions connect with the Windchill without any license. This extension can only communicate with Windchill and fetch the data.

For Windchill Extension, we can install the Thingworx Foundation and import the Extension.

Thanks,
