Windchill 11.0 or Windchill 11.1?

What is the compelling reason or reasons for using Windchill 11.1 over Windchill 11.0?

Best answer by Invisigoth

There really isn't an answer to this question, I am just soliciting experiences.

 

Another question that was just posed to me about 11.1 is:

 

The matrices say that "Windows Server 2016" is supported as a platform ; does that mean all editions of Windows Server 2016,  Standard,  Datacenter and Essentials?

 

Nothing in the PTC DB that I can see to clarify.......

Are you currently using Windchill or just starting?

There are some enhancements that have been implemented in 11.1 but I have not studied them as we went to 11.0 just days before 11.1 was officially released. I do know that 11.1 does require proper licensing and license configuration.

 

There are documents on the PTC website that will explain the differences.

Yes, the licensing is way different, that I know about.  Not sure how customers will react to the fact that they cannot use licenses from another server, as I understand that lmadmin_ptc is out of the picture with that release.

Support for Windchill 11.0 ends at the end of 2019.

 

Below statement is taken from CPS product calendar:

 

"11.0 M030: CPS releases will be provided through December 2019 (December 2020 for customers on extended support)"

PTC has confirmed that any version of Windows Server 2016 will work.

Ok, thank you.  It would be nice if PTC understood this should be in their documentation.
