(sorry if I missed it) I did see an industry analyst who was applauding
PTC for being so honest and customer focused about this. I completely
agree. It is too bad that PTC couldn't say that they found it. I'm
amazed at whomever was running their machine a month ahead! Someone said
"THAT is an IT department really on top of things!" I would think they
might want to switch it to about 6 months. And hope that PTC thanked
them in some very concrete way!!!
Still, it would have been helpful if someone had created a flow chart or
something that said...If you are on Windows: go get this NMSD.exe file
from the PTC site
formatting link
and replace it everywhere it already is on your machine. I found three
(Pro/E, Mechanica, Pro/Collaborate) The setup thing isn't affected on
Windows. If you are thinking about upgrading to a new date code, order
yourself a CD and have at it, the patches should be included. Did I get
that right?
