In 2009 I bought the software "CoCreate 2008 Version 16.00D".
In 2010 we got the new version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" from our support-contact at Switzerland - I never installed it on my PC.
After 2010 we finished upgrade-contract because all features we needed from our CAD were available.
Today (21.01.204) I bought Win 8.1.
I installed the newer version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" on my second PC*. I kept the fist one I'm having with Win XP and "CoCreate 2008 Version 16.00D" running on it. I wanted to have a Hardware-Backup because of my CAD from CoCreate (that has HW-License as I was told then).
* all the same hardware. No differences. I bought them together some years ago to have a "hardware backup system".
I try now to make run the newer version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" on my PC. The one with WinXP I kept without any changes to ensure that I have a fallback system.
As already mentioned the hardware on the second PC is the same. I copied the file MEIs.conf from the path of the Licence-Server on my PC on a USB-Stick and tried to make it run on the second system. No success.
Now I'm looking for some support - but I can't find a possibility on the ptc webside.
Maybe you can give me a hint where to ask for support / how to make it run on my second PC*.
My point of view is that I bought this versions legally from CoCreate in 2010 and there must be a official way to get it run on my Win 8.1 PC.
Thanks for any support
