License Requirements for Publishing with File Synchronization in Windchill 11.1
To integrate CAD applications with Windchill, a user must be entitled to a valid license of a Windchill License Profile group. Each authoring application has its own license profile requirements, for instance, for a Creo user needs a PTC PDMLink Module license, or a PTC ProjectLink Module license, or a PTC Author License and PTC Mechanical Design I license. There is a full list of Windchill License Profile Requirement for integration in CS282719.
A user can connect to Windchill through WWGM with a registered CAD application with a valid Windchill license at the appropriate level.
Licensing for File Synchronization
File synchronization enabled CAD Workers requires two license configurations:
• The authoring application license required to use the application
• A Windchill user account with a valid Windchill license in order to integrate Windchill Workgroup Manager or Creo Parametric.

 | • For test and administration purpose only, you can run CAD application connecting with Windchill with a user in the Windchill License Exclusion group with a license outside of the purchased license count. See CS291518 for the detailed steps to run CAD applications with Windchill connection with a user in the license exclusion group. • See CS277468 for general questions about licensing. |
