Starting Ilink returns with note "Failed to take or refresh license".

Yep. PACCAR is feeling this too, not for new development but for the
systems we use to build trucks that are stuck in limbo on Pro/I 3.3
until Windchill has the capability to replace the function of our tools
around that. I'd love to just be able to edit and re-compile that DLL.

I should have mentioned in my previous post that we, too, are still on
Intralink 3.x.



With that in mind, can anyone shed light on how widespread this issue is?
The subject line refers to 3.3 M22; will those of us on 3.4 have to worry
about this at some other date?

I think its only intralink 3.3 M010, M020 and M022. 3.4 is probably going
to time out some other date 🙂 have you tried rolling back your clock? it
seems to work for some of our computers,, not all. We copied the
proilbase.dll file from the ones that worked and it made the others work..
We are still testing this out, have not rolled to all users.

I rolled back the clock, launched Intralink, then put the clock back, per Jim's method. Seems to work OK. If you don't put the clock back to today, it will impact everything on your client machine (incl email).
Ptc's phone's are apparently very busy (they didn't even direct me to the web because it was 3.x). They actually asked if I was calling about this issue before I even explained why I was calling. Said they're working on a fix.

Expect a notice at www.ptc.com/support fairly soon on status of a fix.



Yep, 3.4 is probably going to see this eventually, but not yet.

I just saw an alert on the ptc.com/support but since we don't currently carry maintenance I can't read it. Can anyone let me know what it says?


Thanks for the information.....
