PTC Technical Support Glossary
PTC has an online glossary that can help with many of the new terms customers will need to know when working with PTC. Below are explanations of a few PTC terms as they relate specifically to NetRegulus customers.
- Release
- Release is the major version of a PTC software product. Releases are versions where significant enhancements have been made to the software product in order to provide value to maintenance paying customers. New releases are only available to customers with active maintenance contracts.
- Datecode
- The Datecode is a release identifier. For existing NetRegulus product releases, the Datecode matches the Release identifier.In future releases, the datecode may follow the PTC standard format.
- Module
- The module is a subcategory for the product referenced in the Technical Support Call. In addition to modules of a specific product, this may also refer to a more specific area of functionality or a designation for a common type of customer issue.
- Examples of NetRegulus products, Releases, Datecodes, and Modules:
-
Product Release Datecode Module NetRegulus NetRM 7.5.1 7.5.1 CAPA NetRegulus NetRM 7.5.1 7.5.1 Study Administrator NetRegulus NetRM 7.4.4 7.4.4 Study Administrator NetRegulus 6.5 6.5 Console - Service Contract Number (SCN)
- The Service Contract Number, or SCN, is a unique identifier to track your purchased maintenance for a PTC product or group of products. A valid SCN is required for all Technical Support services, including opening a Call and downloading software updates.
