Hi @AP_10483126 ,

It's always good to use recommended windows platforms suggested by PTC documents. I observed very strange issue which are difficult to debug if you are using un-supported OS platforms.

Usually I will decide with the help of the software matrices. you can check for your version using link: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/refdoc
I am running Creo view adapter 10 and as per the matrices only Windows 10 and in some cases Windows 11 supported for Solidworks and Inventor worker.
page 4 for the document: https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Creo_View_Adapters/10,-d-,0/CreoViewAdaptersSoftwareMatrix.pdf?sc_lang=en

You can also follow these simple steps to make a decision.

 

Regards,

Hemant .

    Thank you so much for the inputs.

    So if i understand correctly the recommendation is to run on a windows os instead of windows server?

    Do we have software matrix for AUTOCAD worker also ?

    Hi @AP_10483126 

    BTW as I know Microsoft licensing is very tricky because the Visualization worker is server application so it has to be installed officially on the Windows server for a company. .

    Worker communicates with Windchill instance so the connection to the database is done by Windchill, not worker.
