This chapter explains how to generate or update licenses using PTC Installation Assistant. It also provides instructions to install PTC License Server, a third-party license management software for your Creo applications. You must install PTC License Server before installing your Creo applications unless you have purchased uncounted node-locked licenses. Refer to your sales documents for your license type. For the license server version requirements appropriate for your installation, see the READ THIS FIRST.

PTC uses FlexNet Publisher from Flexera Software, Inc. as its license server. See License Management Software for an overview and benefits of the license management software. The FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide may be helpful as you install PTC License Server.
