Version: Windchill 12.0
Use Case: You try to add a license to a Windchill Server and the ThingWorx Device ID is missing.
Description:
You go to license Management within Windchill, to the Settings-tab and copy your "License Host ID".
You go to https://my.ptc.com/licensing/dashboard to wait for some time, you click onto your Recent Orders, click the checkbox of a license, add the quantity in the next screen, wait again.
There is no host, because, no idea why, it's just stupid.
You click on "Add New Licensing Host".
Mandatory: "Licensing Host Name" There is no decription if that is an official term from PTC or a freely changable field that they just want to have, for whatever reason.
Then there is "Windchill Device ID". That term is new.
The little "i" guides you to, title, "Device ID for Windchill" (Did they link a wrong document? That seems to be something else.)
In there (CS412695), the terms "Device ID", "Machine ID", "Host ID" and "Windchill's Device ID" are used
To PTC: Why does PTC use more than one term for the same thing?
Please be consistent. Thanks.
Then, You need to put in the ThingWorx Device ID, mandatory field.
You have no such installation,
Therefore, the whole process needs to be interrupted.
--> What do I need to put into that field of the "ThingWorx Device ID", although I do not have that?
Thanks in advance!
