Worldwide high schools now have free access to Solid Edge

Education Announcement: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math 

Siemens PLM is continuing their generous investments in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education. Today Siemens PLM Software announced a free worldwide Solid Edge High School edition for 3D Computer-Aided-Design (CAD).  This gives educators the opportunity to expose their students to the engineering and product design tools used all over the world.  Exposing students to this experience will hopefully encourage and help in understanding of STEM careers.  This investment and cooperation from educators in the long run can help the current shortage of qualified job candidates in engineering and closely-related fields.  A free 12 month academic site license for Solid Edge can be obtained at www.siemens.com/plm/solid-edge-highschool. 

Following the success of the Solid Edge Student Edition, the High School Edition now gives teachers access to use Solid Edge in the classroom and extra-curricular projects. Schools will have access to the Solid Edge modules of drafting, sheet metal, surfacing, and advanced assemblies. The free 12 month license can be renewed annually.

NX 7.5.5 Maintenance Pack 7 Is Now Available for Download

NX 7.5.5 - Maintenance Pack 7 Announcement:  

The latest Maintenance Pack (MP7) for NX 7.5.5 is now available for download.
You can download the Maintenance Pack here: http://ftp.ugs.com/unigraphics/maintenance-packs/nx75/

A valid WebKey account is needed to access Maintenance Pack downloads.  To create a WebKey you need your Customer Sold-To ID and your WebKey Access Code, both found under Help, About.  You can create your WebKey account here: https://plmapps.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/webkey/

Installing Maintenance Packs is quick and easy. Some known security issues arise with installing any software on Windows 7 OS regarding User Access Control (UAC); these same issues exist when installing MPs.  Windows UAC should be turned off and after unbundling the download run the .exe as administrator by right mouse clicking on the file and selecting Run as Administrator from the quick menu. Most UAC security issues can be avoided by installing Solid Edge to a location on the client machine anywhere other than the default “Program Files” folder.  As long as the user has full write permission to a folder location such as C:\NX\ these issues should not arise.

Ally PLM encourages all of our customers to stay current with released Maintenance Packs.  Maintenance Packs deliver the most current updates and resolution of PRs to your software platform.  You can find detailed information regarding the PRs that a Maintenance Pack addresses in the “readme” .txt file found with the MP download.

The Ally PLM Technical Support Team is available to answer any questions and provide support for all of your needs; including Maintenance packs.  You can contact the Ally PLM Technical Support Team via email at technical.support@allyplm.com or via phone at (513) 984-0480 Option: 4
