Installation Prerequisites
See Before You Begin to check if all the installation prerequisites are met. Install Creo Schematics after you have obtained a license and installed PTC License Server. See the chapter Configuring Licenses for Creo Applications for details on how to obtain licenses for your software. You can install your product software on a license server, a license client, a node-locked machine, or on any combination of these machines.
* 
Usage of uncounted, node-locked licenses does not require PTC License Server.
License configuration is a part of the installation process. A license source must be identified in order to install Creo Schematics.
