Updates to PTC's Licensing Experience Coming on June 9 

In June, PTC will introduce updates to enhance your product licensing experience. Here’s what you can expect from these improvements:

 

Single Destination for PTC Licensing 

Starting June 9, the PTC Manage Licensing application will be your single destination for all licensing activities. Users will be directed to the PTC Manage Licensing app from PTC eSupport, simplifying access to tools and resources. The legacy License Management Web Tool homepage will be retired, and navigation guides will be available to help you easily find the resources you use most. 

 

Now Supporting More Products 

The Manage Licensing app will now support more products including Creo, Mathcad, Arbortext, Codebeamer FlexLM (excluding legacy version), Integrity, CADDS5, and PTC Modeler. These products will adopt the same host management, licensing assignment, and license generation processes that Windchill and ThingWorx users have been using, providing a streamlined and consistent licensing experience across products. Future releases will address migrating the remaining PTC products into the app. 

 

Reporting Enhancements 

We are introducing new reporting features within the Manage Licensing app, allowing you to customize views and filter results. This will provide comprehensive data on all active products in your Installed Base (IB), retiring traditional reporting experiences for the Customer Detail Report (CDR) and Business Asset Summary Web Tool (BSWT). 

 

Users with license management privileges were notified by email in April about this release and will receive additional communications leading up to June 9.

How AI can accelerate product development workflows in manufacturing

The AI landscape is no longer limited to infrastructure like servers and cloud
services. Manufacturers can augment their AI capabilities with a hybrid
approach that harnesses the power of cloud, on-prem and local workstations.
When applied to product development, a high-performance computing platform that runs AI locally can open the door to new levels of design innovation and productivity gains.

 

In this playbook, we’ll explore how manufacturers can leverage the power of generative AI to enhance their workflows, empowering developers, engineers and data scientists to experiment and prototype products with greater ease.

 

SIGMA MBD - PREPAER TODAY FOR TOMORROW'S SUCCESS

PREPARE TODAY FOR TOMORROW'S SUCCESS 


As organizations move towards Model-Based Definition (MBD), many underestimate the foundational work required for a successful transition.

 

❌ Too often, teams wait until it’s time to “go MBD” before thinking about how to actually get there — and by then, it may be too late for a smooth transition🕑

 

SIGMAXIM has built software tools that provide a proven, systematic approach to ensure companies have structured data, consistent practices and alignment across tools, processes, and teams to prepare them for the MBD transition.
Your future MBD success truly starts now — even if full implementation is still years away.

👉 Whether you’re just starting to explore MBD or already on the path,  learn how to lay the right foundation today.

BLOG: Foundation Models: 3 Reasons Why They Should Be Part of Your AI Strategy

AI is poised to transform engineering simulation—but getting started can feel overwhelming. Foundation models offer a powerful shortcut, letting teams test and benefit from AI without the typical setup complexity. In this blog, we break down why these models are becoming essential to any forward-thinking AI strategy in engineering:

  • Pre-trained on relevant simulation data—so you don’t have to start from scratch
  • Work out of the box, no AI expertise required
  • Help your team explore design space faster and with more confidence

If you're thinking about AI adoption, this article shows you why foundation models are the launchpad you've been waiting for.

Achieve True CAD/CAM Integration with Digital Continuity

🔗 Achieve True CAD/CAM Integration with Digital Continuity

👉Digital Continuity means all 3D data and design intelligence you embed in Creo models arrives unchanged on the shop floor.

No matter how complex your design and company rules are, Creo Automation with SmartAssembly makes it easy for engineers to apply them consistently and accurately, every time.

Onboarding new engineers? It’s faster and easier, with no complicated rules to memorize.

Wilfried CADIOU, CIO of Griffon Marine, said,

"With Smart Assembly, we didn't just automate CAD model creation — we enabled CAD/CAM integration by embedding manufacturing intellgence into the 3D models, giving us a faster, more efficent and higher quality process."

💡Digital Continuity means true CAD/CAM integration, resulting in:

✅Faster time-to-market
✅ More efficient design process
✅ Higher quality products.
