Could someone please either upload or give a link to their Windchill Rehost Utility 3 or whichever is the current release?

Trying to rehost from one machine to another.

We have PDM Essentials and the documentation calls out to go login and go to the downloads page but it doesn't exist there. Even had a help ticket open for 2 weeks but they were never able to help.

With Windchill Essentials, are you able to access the Windchill desktop?  Assuming not if it's hosted by PTC.

The Windchill Desktop Integration within our own Windchill, folder like structure? Yes, but there's only a limited amount of downloads there like Vis and Workgroup Managers.

No, to rehost you have to have access to the actual Windchill installation - along with the database (Oracle or SQL Server).

It's all command line / property files.

Is Windchill Essentials hosted on your own computers in your server room or is it hosted over the web from a PTC contracted server?

Our own servers, locally.

You should contact PTC Tech Support and find out why Windchill Essentials does not have access to the Rehost Utility.
