Note that you will need an active PTC support account to access it.

Should be possible since Windchill is not running on the same computer as the CAD software.

Use different shortcut icons to Wildfire 5 and Creo 3, each pointing to their own cache file folders.

Then register each CAD program to its respective Windchill server.

Minimum 3 computers required, 2 servers and 1 workstation. Realistically it would be 5 computers, 2 Windchill/Apache servers, 2 dadabase serevrs and your 1 workstation.

‌Ben, thanks for that answer there is one issue and that is how do you set up a seperate cache location for each cad instance. I have never had much luck with doing that but maybe I was doing that wrong.

Use different Start-In folders for each version and then it is automatic since the WF_Cache is placed in the starts-in folder. It only becomes complicated when you use the same start-in folders, then you need to use a config.pro setting to set the cache.

Also do NOT use a common config.pro since many settings have changed/ been obsoleted/added between Wildfire 5 and Creo 3.
