Creo Parametric Adapter Prerequisites
Check the following items to ensure that your system is able to run the Creo View Adapter for Creo Parametric:
• The Creo View Adapter for Creo Parametric must be supported on the operating system, Creo version, and meet the minimum requirements as shown in the Software Matrices available at:
http://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/doc/refdoc.jsp
• Prior to configuring the Creo View Adapter for Creo Parametric, validate your Creo environment. Creo must be correctly configured and licensed, or the adapter will not work.
• The license features required by the Creo View Adapter for Creo Parametric depend on the nature of the data being published.  As a general rule the adapter requires access to a license that combines all of the features used by the CAD authors.
• Ensure that your operating system has adequate CPU and storage systems.
• Confirm and note the command line used to run Creo.
* 
On Windows, you can confirm the path and command used to run Creo by right-clicking on the shortcut icon used to run Creo and select Properties. The path and command to run Creo appear in the Target field.
* 
On Windows, do not use network drives for workers -- for example, do not install the Creo View adapters on a network drive, or rely on any other installation or data that resides on a network drive.
• The adapter operates under a user account that must be configured to run Creo.
* 
When configured as a service using the Worker Daemon, the Log On As account of the service must also be configured to run Creo.
• If you attempt to load CAD data into Creo and have problems, those same problems will prevent the adapter from converting this data to the Creo View format.
