Version: Windchill 11.2
Use Case: For personal development I was wondering if I can install Windchill on a Windows Desktop like Windows 10 or does it strictly need to be Windows Server?
Description:
PSI loads Installation Manager but closes right after on Windows 10. Works fine on Windows Server.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've been installing on Windows 10 for years - for dev systems and general learning.
If the machine is a company computer and is on a domain, no problem - same as a server.
If the machine is personal and not on a domain, need to edit the host file to add xxx.xxx.com so that a fully qualified hostname can be filled in.
