License bundles

Some of our Pro/Engineer/Wildfire/Creo Parametric licenses came bundled with a heavy user license of Windchill PDMLink when they were purchased. I'm trying to sort through all of this.

Does anyone have a link to a PTC document that shows this information? Including for older licenses of Pro/E?

Or is it the usual PTC M.O. of making this as arcane as possible. I mean, the amount of confusion and time spent trying to sort though this at 5 different companies was quite frustrating.

This is from an old Excel file I have:

This is license document http://support.ptc.com/support/customer_agreements/basis_files/jan-17/Licensing_Basis_en.pdf

But there isn't what you are looking for bundled license and their old name.

This part of the document talks about something quite similar.

"The licensing basis for each component of a PTC product package shall be the same as if such

component were being licensed separately, except that the components of each package may only be

used with the base seat in the package. For example, the Windchill PDMLink and Windchill

ProjectLink Registered User Licenses bundled with the Creo Elements/Pro Enterprise XE Package

are Licensed on a Registered User basis and must be assigned in combination to a single Creo

Elements/Pro user. "

Thanks Marco. I'm not seeing any information about bundles either.

From my experience, license bundling was/is too dynamic to rely on anything published.

What I recommend you do is get your license summary (used to be called a customer detailed report) for each company. These are excel spreadsheets which you can then review. Biggest problem with this is that this is what PTC thinks you own, it might be wrong.
