Running NX6 & NX5 together
Running NX6 & NX5 together
(OP)
If I want to try this are there any tricks I need to be aware of?
Would it be best to start each from a separate batch file?

RE: Running NX6 & NX5 together
So with a litte playing around I have got both NX5 & NX6 running on WINXP32, each runs a batch file that sets the required environment variables.
I have also changed the file association so that if you double click on a *.prt it runs the NX5 batch file.
The problem is although it runs NX5 it is not opening the part. Does anyone have any hints how I can get this to work?
Thank you in advance for any help

I would like to use nx4 and nx6 together. Please put the link, which is show me, how I configure/create my batch file under windows.
thanks,

I also included in the zip file a .dll which is as nice looking NX 'icon' that you can assign under the 'Change Icon...' option in the properties dialog for the shortcut file. It just adds a little class to your desktop and makes it easier to find your NX launch files.

RE: Running NX6 & NX5 together
Could you explain in greater detail the function of your included .dll file? What is one supposed to do with it?

RE: Running NX6 & NX5 together
many thanks.
Hi all,
Sorry for any inconvience, although the topic is gone about nx5 & nx6 using together, but I would like to use nx4 instead of nx5 and nx6 together. But I have a problem with port number diversity. Nx4 use 27000 port number, but the higher versions use 28000 yet. So the windows have any enviroment variables, which are important for UG between windows communication. How I create the batch file which set the desired nx version able to run? I installed first the nx4 obviously, and the flexlm use 27000 port number, but the nx6 require 28000 port number.
thanks,
jrm

In the NX4 one, you need to set : UGII_LICENSE_FILE=27000@yourserver
In the NX5 (or NX6) one, you need to set : UGS_LICENSE_SERVER=28000@yourserver

This works fine as I'm currently got on my laptop V16.0/V17.0/V18.0/NX 1/NX 2/NX 3/NX 4/NX 5/NX 6 and can have any combination of these versions up and running at any one time.
