Ambient occlusion

I've installed Creo 3.0 M060 on Windows 7 with Nvidia Quadro K4200, in the nvidia control panel there is a section where I can customize options per-application featuring "PTC Pro/Engineer Wildfire (PTC Creo Parametric)".
In the customization list "Ambient Occlusion" is grayed and there's "Not supported for this application" note. So is ambient occlusion supported or not? Because on PTC website they claim that AO is accelerated with nvidia quadro cards...
 
PTC charges extra for that option. Used to be called photolux or something or another. That function is new with respect to Mental Ray BTW. Mentral Ray is the engine we prefer when using Maya.
