What are the primary differences of each package?
The packages can be divided into three tiers:
- Foundation:
The essential 3D CAD solution offering the most robust 3D product design toolset that is the core of the industry's only scalable product development platform.
- Advanced:
The power of Pro/ENGINEER - the industry's only integrated 3D CAD/CAM/ CAE solution - plus data management capabilities.
- Enterprise:
A complete product development solution, designed to solve the complex needs of today's globally dispersed development teams.
When will these packages be available?
All five Pro/ENGINEER packages are currently available.
Why did PTC rename the existing Pro/ENGINEER packages?
PTC renamed the Pro/ENGINEER packages to create a scalable system that enables customers to easily and quickly identify which package meets their needs. The new naming system shows the logical hierarchy of functionality designed to meet the varied demands of discrete manufacturers. This scalable system satisfies our customer demands for easy-to-use, powerful, pre-configured packages at competitive price points.
What advantages do the Pro/ENGINEER packages provide?
Pro/ENGINEER is simple to learn and use, and is available in a variety of packages designed to meet your company's specific needs. Whether you need a cost-effective 3D CAD system that contains all the basic design capabilities or a comprehensive Product Development System that seamlessly connects your extended supply chain, you'll find exactly what you need in a single, fully scalable solution. Choose the package that fits your needs today. As your needs change and grow, you can easily upgrade to the package that is right for you tomorrow which leverages the same powerful platform- this means no data translation and a consistent user experience.
The Pro/ENGINEER family of integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solutions delivers a distinct advantage for engineers and designers because Pro/ENGINEER is fully associative. That means any change made to the design is automatically reflected in all downstream deliverables - without any translation of model information. By eliminating data translation, you not only save time, but you also avoid the possibility of translation errors in your design. Pro/ENGINEER packages are the first choice of engineers and designers because no other product development package offers more power and speed in one scalable platform.
Has the pricing for existing packages changed?
No, only the names of existing packages have changed. The pricing for existing packages has not changed.
Will the new packages require a new license file for existing customers?
No, only the names of existing packages have changed; the contents and licenses have not changed. New licenses will not be required. For example, there is no need to request a new license for Pro/ENGINEER Foundation XE if you currently have the Pro/ENGINEER Foundation Advantage Package.
Will my current maintenance contract for an existing package change?
No, since only the names of existing packages have changed, your current maintenance contract with the former package name will remain valid. At the time of your maintenance renewal, the new package name and a reference to the former package name will appear on your maintenance quote.
Can I upgrade from an existing package to a new Pro/ENGINEER Package?
Yes. For more information on upgrades, please call us at 800-800-1714.
Can I buy other Pro/ENGINEER modules and PTC products individually if they are not included in a specific package?
Yes. Pro/ENGINEER add-on modules and PTC products are available a la carte.
