Opening PDXpert for the first time

The default account name is Admin and has a blank password.

  1. From the Windows Start menu, select the PDXpert program folder, and then the PDXpert item. (Or, double-click the PDXpert desktop icon.)

  2. If the PDXpert Application Server has been installed on another computer, then the Application Configuration dialog may be displayed. Enter the name of the other computer into the PDXpert server computer name textbox. Click the OK button.

    The standard value of the Server TCP port number is 48084, and should never be changed unless the PDXpert Application Server has been set to a different value.

    If this dialog opens again after clicking the OK button, refer to the help topic How to solve log-in problems > Configure the PDXpert client

  3. When the Software License Key dialog opens is displayed, enter the required information into the Software License dialog (see the Entering the software license key topic.) Click the OK button.

    For more information about this dialog, refer to the help topic How to start PDXpert > Entering the software license key

  4. When the Welcome to PDXpert PLM dialog appears, use the default account name Admin and leave the password space blank.

    If this dialog opens again after clicking the OK button, refer to the help topic How to solve log-in problems > Log into the PDXpert client

    The Welcome to PDXpert PLM window also displays the organization that has licensed the application and the software release number (e.g., Program release 4.1.204.941).

After the PDXpert main window opens, you can edit the default administrator account to reflect your name, email address and other details. The account information is found in the Admin member of the Persons collection, in the Collections Explorer. Go to the Collections Explorer > Places/Organizations/Persons > Persons > Admin
