Have just installed 30-day trial version of Spaceclaim. First job was to open a NX file and import it into Spaceclaim, but I keep getting these messages to say licence is not available. What am I doing wrong?

Hello David Rendall

Does that happen with any file or with this specific file? Did you get the same error after importing other format files?

Will it be possible for you to share these file, so that I can try them on my end.

Hi Devendra,

I tried several different .prt files created in NX, I have attached a couple of random part files here

Hello  David Rendall

You are getting those messages due to the input NX file version not supported in SpaceClaim 2021 R2 version.

Currently, SpaceClaim 2021 R2 supports NX1 through NX12 and UG v11 through 18, 1872, 1899, 1926.

The next release of SpaceClaim (2022 R1) will support NX 1953. This version comes out in early 2022.
(Note, I was able to open the .prt files created in NX you sent me in a SpaceClaim 2022 R1 build)

Regards.

Hello Devendra Badgujar 

If I postponed the trial until the latest build is available, would I be able to pick up the trial licence again?

Do you have an estimate of which month 2022R1 will be available?

Regards.

Hello David Rendall

Please contact your Sales Rep for Ansys to postpone the trial and pick it again.

Also the new release 2022 R1 is estimated to be available early next year in the mid January.

Regards.

Is it best to un-install the version I have until the new version is available, or is easier to leave it in place?

Regards.

As you planning to postpone and pick it again after the new release, you can uninstall this version and install the new version when its available. Even if you leave it in place it won't be problem just you won't be able to use it as you will not have trial license available.

But you will have to contact your Sales Rep regarding postponing the trial and pick it again.
