Introduction
Pro/ENGINEER is a powerful design tool capable of creating and documenting
any type of design. Before using Pro/ENGINEER, you will need to install and
license the program.
At STARBASE you used the version of our software named Pro/ENGINEER
Wildfire 5.0. This version has been renamed to be Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 so you
will see both names used depending on the document you are reading.
If you would like to use the latest version of our CAD software (Creo Parametric
2.0), you can register to download and license it at http://www.ptcschools.com.

Activity One Creating a PTC Account
During this activity, you are going to create an account with PTC so you can generate a
license file to run Pro/ENGINEER.

Task 1: Create a PTC Academic Account
Objective: In this task, you will use your email address to create a PTC Academic Account.

If you already have a PTC account, please move to Task 2 on the following page.

2. At PTC Mission Control, click 1) Student Registration from the right-side of the page.
3. Enter the required Personal and
Security information.

asterisk * are required.

information, click Create Account.
You can now review the key
features of your PTC account.

You can reset your password at www.ptc.com/appserver/common/account/password.jsp.



Activity Two Download the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 Schools Edition DVD
During this activity, you are going to learn how to download and extract the Pro/ENGINEER
Wildfire 5 Schools Edition DVD.

Task 1: Download the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 Schools Edition DVD
Objective: In this task, you will begin the download process.
1. In your web browser, go to the PTC Mission Control webpage at www.ptc.com/go/starbase.

3. You will now be prompted to download and save the file named WF5_Schools_DVD.zip. The
actual prompt will vary, depending on your web browser and operating system.
Save the file to your Desktop or other location on your computer.
Because this file is so large, you may want to use a download manager such as Free
Download Manager. Using a download manager will enable you to stop and then restart the
download if required. The download could take anywhere from three to six hours to complete.

Task 2: Extract the downloaded zip file to a folder
Objective: In this task, you will extract the downloaded zip file to a folder containing the
contents of the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 DVD.
Depending on your computer, operating system and software, files can be extracted in a
number of ways. The method you use may not exactly match instructions in this document.

1. After the download is complete, use Windows Explorer and browse to the file
(WF5_Schools_DVD.zip).
This file is either on your Desktop or in a folder that your web browser uses to place
downloaded files.
2. Extract (unzip) the file to create a folder named WF5_Schools_DVD. This new folder will
contain the contents of the Pro/ENGINEER Schools Edition DVD.
In Windows Explorer, right-click WF5_Schools_DVD.zip and select Extract All from
the pop-up menu.
This will create a new folder named WF5_Schools_DVD.
