As such I cannot validate the purchase of an industrial seat (Thousands of dollars for features I won't use? Not likely). I love this software, and have used it for years, but only for home/hobby purposes. I am sending separate message to the board administrator to see if I can help break this deadlock.
I have stopped recommending Modelling Express - my conscience won't allow me to make that recommendation again until I see a permanent solution to the current problems. It is frustrating that we have to repeat the activation every 72 hours but infinitely preferable to having absolutely no access to what is an exceptional piece of software - ideal for 3D print enthusiasts as I used to tell the hundreds of thousands of Prusa i3 users every chance I got. My registered email address I have been using with CREO for around five years was unable to obtain a valid temporary key and after over a week with no access at all I registered an alternate email address which has overcome that limitation and does at least give me a 72 hour work window. The overall problem is that the Express licence server is not functional and we have no information on why, or who has the responsibility for restarting it. When that also fails - whether we return it empty or not - we then get the option to ask for a temporary activation key. The proxy request is an automated first response from the main PTC website when it cannot find the Licence server. I tried it before commuting to Creo Elements, and now PTC are messing around with the users who commited to their software ("Free"/"It's yours indefinitely") I am starting to regret trusting the company statements they made.
If PTC withdraw Creo Elements, I would start using SketchUp.
It's a direct competitor to SketchUp or Pirated CAD software. If, however, they make it more and more difficult to get a license they will move to fewer users.īut if they are winding down they software line, why not just make it open source and totally free? Creo Elements isn't a competitor for ProE or NX or Catia, it's not cannibalising PTC ProE, if anything it will draw people off Inventor or SolidWorks. I think even for personal use there will be legal consequences if they do an about face on this issue. I'm not sure how that relates legally if they've encouraged people to use it because its "Free" and " it's yours to use indefinitely".
