I want to use NX6 in Windows 8.

So Windows 8 is the odd environment i mentioned in your other thread ?
Call Gtac and ask if NX6 at all runs on Windows 8.

Regards,
Tomas

NX 6.0 has NOT been certified on Windows 8 nor are there any plans to do so. Now if it works, fine (I have UG V17.0 running on Windows 7 and trust me, that was never in the plan), but if it doesn't, don't expect a lot of help from GTAC. Granted, someone there might have some ideas as to what you could try, but your best bet is to upgrade to a version of NX that has been certified on Windows 8.

@JohnRBreaker
Which version of NX is certified for windows 8......

Go to the site below and you'll find a list of Siemens PLM products. Pick the one(s) of interest and you will be asked to download a spreadsheet with the latest certification information.


Note that with respect to NX, the current 'Supported' versions on Windows 8 & 8.1 are NX 8.5 and NX 9.0. Any version earlier than that is officially listed as 'Not Supported'. Now as I've said in the past, this does NOT mean that older versions of NX can not be installed or that it will not run, just that IF there ARE problems encountered, there will be little or NOTHIMG that GTAC or R&D can do to help resolve whatever problems that might arise if you do try this.
