    <description>&lt;P&gt;Frankly, I don't care either way.&amp;nbsp; After being locked out of Creo's software for a day, DLed and started using Fusion32.&amp;nbsp; Seems better in every way, and the software actually works!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

It was totally working fine for a bunch of months now.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;see&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.ptc.com/t5/Modeling/Does-Creo-Direct-Modeling-Express-8-0-run-on-Windows-11/m-p/1029474/highlight/true#M1341" target="_blank"&gt;https://community.ptc.com/t5/Modeling/Does-Creo-Direct-Modeling-Express-8-0-run-on-Windows-11/m-p/1029474/highlight/true#M1341&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;for more details on PE90!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The today's problem is that the 'generate activation key' page on the PTC server is not reachable:&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;with the detailed message "&lt;STRONG&gt;www-cf.ptc.com | 500: Internal server error&lt;/STRONG&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="PTC" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/129844i6FFF583F48E2EC6D/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="PTC" alt="PTC" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I don't know what to tell you, for the last year, every 72 hours I have to go through this process. I always get this screen:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="BenW_0-1760733559577.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/129848iD7EC4825F8E6F5C4/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="BenW_0-1760733559577.png" alt="BenW_0-1760733559577.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="BenW_1-1760733608003.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/129849i027DA2FB9D9EB5B5/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="BenW_1-1760733608003.png" alt="BenW_1-1760733608003.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then have to log in, copy the code from the website, paste it, click submit, then wait for C/EDME to load.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Also, where does one DL version 9?&amp;nbsp; The &lt;A href="https://www.ptc.com/en/products/creo/elements-direct/modeling-express" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;website&lt;/A&gt; provides version 8.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;The &lt;A href="https://www.ptc.com/en/products/creo/elements-direct/modeling-express" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"&gt;website&lt;/A&gt; provides version 8.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On that page there is &lt;STRONG&gt;NO&lt;/STRONG&gt; version mentioned at all by PTC! I'm not sure what the intention is &lt;U&gt;to omit a version number&lt;/U&gt; over there. And yes that was the confusion on my side as well. But downloading and installing does provide PE90 on your disk (be aware: it's trying to do an upgrade installation).&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The "Windows 64-bit (&lt;STRONG&gt;240MB&lt;/STRONG&gt;)" -&amp;gt; ModelingPE__setup_EN.zip &lt;STRONG&gt;is PE90&lt;/STRONG&gt;. Also mentioned in that page is "Windows 11 64-bit Editions" which was not the case for PE80 or elder versions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That PTC does not mention any version number.... is rather confusing.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The &lt;A href="https://www.ptc.com/en/products/creo/elements-direct/modeling-express" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"&gt;website&lt;/A&gt; provides version 90 of&amp;nbsp;Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express for downloading!&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;----------------------&lt;BR /&gt;Yes those 2 screen shots are well known and appeared for years: the proxy page at all + a ~90...120 second delay. But this was solved with PE90.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;For now the problem not to get an activation key is remaining.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Getting the same error: Internal Server Error from Cloudflare (error code 500). Just installed v9.0 and I still get this error. When will this be fixed?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Vieleicht ließt das ja jemand von PTC&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sehr geehrtes Team von PTC,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ich nutze seit mehr als 10 Jahren die kostenlose Software "Creo Elements Express" im Hobbybereich.&lt;BR /&gt;Habe in der Zeit unzählige Projekte mit dieser Software erstellt. Warum? Ich finde die Software einfach, intuitiv und sie&lt;BR /&gt;bietet mir das was ich brauche. Leider können die Dateien mit keiner anderen Software geöffnet bzw. bearbeitet werden.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Nun kommen wir zum Problem:&lt;BR /&gt;Der Lizenzserver ist seit einigen Tagen nicht erreichbar. Mir ist klar, dass PTC sein Hauptaugenmerk nicht auf eine kostenlose&lt;BR /&gt;Software legen kann. Ich bitte Sie aber zu verstehen, dass es auch für uns Hobbyisten ein großer Verlust ist, wenn wir unsere&lt;BR /&gt;Dateien nicht mehr öffnen bzw. bearbeiten können. Wenn die Software überhaupt nicht mehr funktioniert, bedeutet das für uns&lt;BR /&gt;den Verlust jahrelanger Arbeit.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Deshalb ein paar Fragen an Sie:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;1. Ist es überhaupt von Ihnen gewollt die Software weiterzuführen?&lt;BR /&gt;2. Müssen wir irgendwann damit rechnen, ohne Vorankündigung vor verschlossener Tür zu stehen?&lt;BR /&gt;3. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die Lizenz auf Dauerlizenz umzustellen. Damit die ständige Online-Verbindung zum Lizenzserver&lt;BR /&gt;nicht mehr nötig ist?&lt;BR /&gt;4. Wäre es nicht denkbar, alternativ zur kostenlosen Variante eine sagen wir mal "Hobbyversion" zu machen, die ein kleines Geld kostet&lt;BR /&gt;dafür aber nicht mehr auf 60 Teile beschränkt ist und von Ihnen gepflegt wird?&lt;BR /&gt;(Ich bin gern bereit etwas dafür zu bezahlen)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Vielen Dank&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I`ve been using creo elements direct modelling express since 2011. So 14 years till now. Hundreds of files, projects and 3d prints.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But now I have "Cloudflare internal server error". So - that hundreds of files are inaccessible.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have that problem since friday, 2025-10-17. I`ve tested several computers with window10, Firefox and Brave tested. Will this program be ever functional again?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It's odd we havn't received any reply/explanation by PTC staff.&lt;BR /&gt;It is more than 5 days the server in not operational and I hope somebody form PTC knows it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Vielen Dank.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bei mir hat es auch funktioniert.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Augrund dieser Situation in den letzten Tagen habe ich mir Gedanken um meine Dateien gemacht.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ich werde jetzt folgendes tun:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Es gibt für Creo Elements Express ein Tool, mit dem man die Projekte (ohne Skizzen) in STEP abspeichern kann.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://osd.cad.de/lisp_3d_54.htm" target="_blank"&gt;http://osd.cad.de/lisp_3d_54.htm&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ich werde alle meine Creo-Projekte in der nächsten Zeit in STEP abspeichern. So kann ich diese&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dateien dann in einem anderen Programm öffnen. Ich habe es mit Fusion 360 und SolidEgde getestet, es hat funktioniert.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Weiterhin habe ich mich in letzter Zeit mit alternativer Software zu Creo Elements Express beschäftigt. Ich bin der Meinung, dass&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SolidEdge dem Creo am nächsten kommt.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you very much! You saved my day!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not uninstalling version 8.0 first was my problem, too.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
