Installing PTC Navigate

Hi,

Has anyone installed PTC Navigate with Windchill PDMLink 10.2 M030?

I have a generic question - for installing PTC Navigate the installer guide from reference document states that we need to have an installation of Thingoworx, but is there a way that we can install Navigate without installing Thingworx?

Thanks in advance!

Besides the piece that is installed in Windchill, Navigate is really a way to leverage auth and api interaction between Windchill and Navigate.

So I would say that you need Windchill and Thingworx to use Navigate.

I'm not 100% clear, but I believe Navigate is using native capabilities to work with the Windchill api (including the ability to execute info engine tasks and other parts)

Navigate is a Thingworx extension and therefore you do need Thingworx. For the xLM apps to work correctly, you need other dependencies (navigate framework, windchill extension, ptc-identity). Check the installation guide on the support site.
