NX5 32 bit or NX5 64 bit

NX5 32 bit or NX5 64 bit

(OP)
Is there and easy way to check which version is installed on a PC.  We have a 64 bit PC that is supposed to be loaded w/ 64 bit NX5, and I just need to verify that it isn't the 32 bit version.

RE: NX5 32 bit or NX5 64 bit

The 'System Information' dialog won't provide that information, however if you go to...

Help -> NX Log File

...in the first few lines of the listing, right under where it shows the description of the 'Machine type' and the 'OS', there will be a line that indicates which 'version' of NX that you're running, "32 bit" versus "64 bit".

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

The system info for NX6.0.2.8 will list the OS Version, including x64 or x32 (at least it does on my box).

RE: NX5 32 bit or NX5 64 bit

That may be true of the OS version, but this does NOT indicate what the NX version is.  Obviously, if the OS is 32-bit, then the NX version must also be 32-bit.  However, if it's a 64-bit version of the OS, you could still be running the 32-bit version of NX, which I think is what the original question was really asking about.

Right as usual, John.
