Yes, one visualization license comes included with Windchill. It's called "Creo Foundation for Visualization". You just have to ask your reseller for it. If you intend to run multiple sessions of Creo on the same computer at the same time (and only use one license), then make sure you request a node-locked license instead of a floating license.
The better place to monitor publishing is under "Site", "Utilities", "WVS Job Monitor".
