Hi. Can anybody please confirm whether the following licenses come free with the system or whether they come from the pot of Print & View and Heavy user that one purchases:

  • Site Administrator;
  • Organisation Administrator;
  • Publisher Administrator.

Many thanks.

Those are not licenses but users with Windchill. They are required for setting up Windchill.

OOTB install only establishes the Site Administrator. The others can be easily created.

OK, sorry, poor phrasing on my part. Do the users for Site, Publish and Org Admins get taken from your purchased pool or, since they are fundamental to Windchill being able to work, can they be overlooked in your user count?

Windchill is a per user license from the LDAP. Those are 3 'roles' within Windchill and they could be handled by just 1 LDAP user account.

If you assign 3 LDAP users to each role then, yes, you are using 3 of your 'licenses'.

You could set up 3 accounts for yourself for each role in Windchill. I would argue with PTC that it is only 1 user, just using different logins to limit the rights that each role has within Windchill.
