Hello everyone,

 

For the Windchill Heavy User Licenses before, which included the MPMLink and or BOM Transformation feature. In WNC 11.1 on the rehearsal upgrade, these features did not carry over to the PDMLink licenses.

 

how is that possible?

 

Achraf,

According to the 11.1 matrix, some aspects of BOM Transformation are available for PDMLinkModuleLicenses (previously named 'Heavy') and some are not:

It doesn't seem like any of the MPMLink functions are included in the PDMLinkModuleLicense:

You would need PTC to confirm, but most likely those features were never really considered included in the Heavy License. Since prior features of Windchill didn't actually enforce licensing, I've heard of situations where customers thought a feature was included, but PTC disagreed.

@TomU that was my previous experience with heavy and MPMLink licenses.
