Creo Direct Integration Unavailable for Creo 6.0 and Earlier Versions
Previously aPriori allowed customers using aP Pro on-premise to continue to set up direct integration with Creo 4.0, Creo 5.0, and Creo 6.0 even though these versions no longer are officially supported by either PTC or aPriori.
In aP Pro 2024 R1 SP3 and future releases, customers using aPriori on-premise will not be able to use the Creo Direct Integration capability with any version of Creo earlier than Creo 7.0. Creo Direct Integration allows on-premise users to initiate a costing and see a “Cost Ticker” of cost analysis results from within the Creo environment. The option to install supporting code for Direct Integration with Creo 4.0, Creo 5.0, and Creo 6.0 no longer is available in the aP Pro Setup Wizard.
