PDMWorks Workgroup

(OP)
A PDM question. I've tried to use the tutorial in SW2008 Office Premium and work my way through PDMWorks but keep getting a license error when I try to "Add-In" PDMWorks Workgroup 2008. Doesn't the license come with Premium? I have installed and set-up a vault as an administrator (per the tutorial) with no problems but can't seem to get to it through Solidworks. Any ideas??? (BTW - our IT Guru has no idea...) Thanks - Dadelar

dadelar ...

This might be a silly question ... but did you set up user accounts ???  Did you enter the Vault (computer) Name in the logon screen ???

Just curious ...

Thanks for the info guys - I got it figured out though. I accidentelly found out while I was browsing for answers that it was an IT error. They didn't assign the right permissions to the right machines.

Are you the PDM Administrator or is IT?

Bradley - I will become the PDM administrator but the IT department has all the other computer stuff. This a start up thing for the company - since I'm bringing it in, I get the pain with the glory. Such is life in a small company!
