Tracking Cases on the PTC Website

You can also use the PTC Website to track your License Management cases by using Case Tracker located in the Technical Support section of the PTC Website.  This application allows you to view cases placed by your company to PTC Customer Service. Case Tracker provides searching, tracking, and sorting capabilities.  It also allows you to add your own comments to a case.  When comments are added, the LM representative assigned to your case is notified automatically.

Following Up Your Case

To follow up on an issue that has been logged, give the number you were assigned for the case, for example, C1234567, to the Customer Service Operator.  Refer to that number on any correspondence to the License Management department.

Resolving Your Licensing Question

A PTC License Management representative will work with you to resolve your question to your satisfaction.  Have the information listed above in "Preparing for Your Call" available when you place your call so the LM representative can provide more efficient service.

If the LM representative determines that more specific information is required to resolve your issue, please include your Case number, along with any additional information requested, in all correspondence to License Management.

When the LM representative sends the required software codes or notifies you that a request has been sent, the status of the case is changed to “Closed”.  Use the closed case number for reference purposes only.

Note: If you have a new license management issue to report, do not refer to a closed case number. Instead, use the LM Web Tools or call License Management directly to log a new case.

Escalating Your Licensing Issue

Issues are prioritized when you first contact the License Management department.  However, the priority of an issue may change during its resolution.  To escalate the priority of an issue at any time during the resolution process, contact the LM department.  Identify the issue using its unique case number.
