Introduction

Creo is a powerful design tool capable of creating and documenting any type of design. Before using Creo in your STARBASE classroom, you will need to install the program on your computers. In this guide you will learn how to install Creo and configure if for STARBASE. You will also learn how to download and prepare the model files used in each STARBASE lesson.

Task 1 – Create a PTC Academic Account

In this task, you will use your email address to create a PTC Academic account. If you already have a PTC account, please move to Task 2 on the following page.

1. In your web browser, go to the PTC Mission Control webpage at www.ptc.com/go/starbase.

Click Teacher Registration from the right-side of the page.

Enter the required Personal and Security information.

Click Create Account>.

Only cells marked with a red asterisk * are required.

Your password can be reset at www.ptc.com/appserver/common/account/password.jsp.

http://www.ptc.com/appserver/common/account/password.jsp



Task 2 – Start the installation of Creo 2.0

In this task, you will learn how to begin the installation of Creo.

1. Place the Creo 2.0 installation DVD in your CD/ROM.

2. Using Windows Explorer, browse into the DVD:

Right-click setup and select Run as Administrator from the pop-up menu.

If a warning window opens, click Yes to confirm.

3. In the PTC Installation Assistant window, make sure Install or add new software is selected.

Click Next.



4. Read the License Agreement and if you agree, select I accept the software license agreement.

Click Next.



Task 3 – Generate a license (using the internet) and complete the install

In this task, you will learn how to complete the installation of Creo 2.0 when your computers have access to the internet. If you do not have internet access, skip this task and move to Task 4.

1. In the Simple License Entry area of the PTC Installation Assistant window:

Type the Product Code BK390206EDSTUDENTEDK12

Click Install Licensing.

Note: The product code above generates a Student edition license. The Student edition contains all functionality required for the PTC-STARBASE curriculum. The Academic edition contains additional functionality but requires a unique product code for each computer. To simplify the process, it was decided to use the Student edition but allow you to request an Academic edition product code if necessary.

2. In the pop-up window:

Type your PTC username (email address).

Type your Password.

Click Log In.



When the license is generated, you will see the “Success!” message and the License Summary section populate with your license file.

3. Click Next.



4. In the Application Selection window, make sure only the following check-boxes are selected:

Creo Parametric

Enable Quality Agent data collection for these application.

5. Click Install.

Your installation will now begin.



6. After the status of the three applications reach 100%:

Click Finish.

After you have finished installing Creo, move on to Task 5 to begin configuring Creo 2.0 for STARBASE.



Task 4 – Generate a license (without the internet) and complete the install

In this task, you will learn how to complete the installation of Creo 2.0 when your computers do not have access to the internet:

If you have internet access, go back to Task 3 to complete the installation.

If you have already completed the installation, move on to Task 5.

Before we can generate a license, you will need to provide us with the Host ID of each computer you need a license for. These instructions show you how to find a computer’s Host ID.

1. Using your web browser, download Get HostID from http://apps.ptc.com/schools/Get_HostID.zip.

2. After the download has completed, use Windows Explorer to browse to the file (Get_HostID.zip).

This downloaded zip file may be on your Desktop, Downloads or other folder that your web browser uses to place downloaded files.

3. Extract (unzip) the file to create a folder named Get_HostID:

Right-click Get_HostID.zip and select Extract All from the pop-up menu.

4. Use Windows Explorer to browse to the file (Get_HostID):

Double-click the get_hostid file.

In the pop-up window, take note of the PTC HOSTID..

Tip: If you have many computers, you can put the Get_HostID folder on a thumb drive and use it to quickly find the Host ID on each computer.

5. Once you have recorded each computer’s Host ID, email them to [email protected], requesting a license file for each.

In your request, please also provide the following information:

First and Last name

STARBASE Location

A list of Host IDs that need a license file

You should receive the license file(s) within one business day.

6. You now need to get the license file(s) to your computer. Sites typically do this in one of two ways:

Copy the license file(s) to a thumb drive or other portable disk drive.

Burn the license file(s) to a DVD.

Creo will NOT run if the computer’s Host ID does not match the Host ID tied to the license file.

7. Make sure you are in the License Identification area of the PTC Installation Assistant.

If necessary, repeat Task 2 to get back to the License Identification area.

8. Make sure there are no licenses listed in the License Summary area.

If you see an item listed, click the minus sign to delete it.

9. Using Windows Explorer, find the license file you download for this computer:

Click and drag the license file into the License Summary area.

You will see the License Summary section populate with your license file.

10. Click Next.



11. In the Application Selection window, make sure only the following check-boxes are selected:

Creo Parametric

Enable Quality Agent data collection for these application.

12. Click Install.

Right-click the zip file and select Extract All from the pop-up menu.

Notes:

Depending on your computer, operating system and software, the zip file may be extracted in a number of ways. The method you use may not exactly match the instructions in step 5 above.

This folder can be placed anywhere you want but we suggest it be placed in the C:\Users\Public\Documents folder. This will make it easier to find when you start Creo.

After the file is downloaded and unzipped, place the STARBASE_Creo2 folder on a thumb drive or burn it to a DVD so you can easily distribute it to other computers.

After you have extracted the STARBASE_Creo2 folder, the zip file can be deleted.

The PDF files for each lesson are found in the zLesson_Docs folder.
