Editions of Creo View
Creo View comes in two licensed editions and one unlicensed edition, all based on the same core viewing technology:
• Creo View—Includes all core functionality for MCAD, ECAD, or both, including interoperability with Windchill. Requires a FLEX license, and some optional modules require additional licenses.
• Creo View Lite—Provides limited viewing and markup functionality and interoperability with Windchill. Requires a legal usage license that comes bundled with the Windchill client.
• Creo View Express—Provides basic viewing functionality without a license and is not interoperable with Windchill.
The Creo View license is configured for MCAD, ECAD or both. If you purchase Creo View MCAD, the functionality of the Lite edition of Creo View ECAD is provided, and vice versa. Depending on the Creo View license configurations set up by the system administrator, you can retrieve license options for your workstation according to your tasks. The optional modules can be set to load at startup or when required. This flexibility provides efficient license sharing. To work offline, you must go online and borrow temporary Creo View licenses. The following optional modules require additional licensing:
