This document will offer guidance on how to configure existing services in CREO and in Windchill to expose PTC CREO Parametric assembly information to Syndeia through the Windchill repository.
Through these Windchill Workspaces, an organization may make CREO content accessible to its user community without having to exchange files through shared folders or email.
Note that a Syndeia User will still require a licensed local copy of CREO parametric.exe in order to navigate via “More Details” from a Syndeia Dashboard to a CAD Viewer of the components of the assemblies.

Troubleshooting
Lack of Windchill Licenses
When attempting to use Windchill Workspaces from within CREO Parametric, the administrator or the users might encounter messages that indicate that either or both of CREO and Windchill are lacking licenses for the CAD/PLM integration capabilities.
For example, while attempting to register a new Server from within Creo, after having provided a proper URL to the Windchill HTTP service and after having provided proper user credentials, CREO might present the following Message Dialog and not complete registration of the Windchill Server.
