SolidWorks now uses online License Activation instead of a registration code as of SolidWorks 2007 SP 3.1 for standalone seat licensing. You get two Activations per SolidWorks license, one for Office use and one for Home use.
To Activate a License
· The first time you start a newly installed version of SolidWorks it should automatically ask if you want to activate your seat. If not go to the Help menu in SolidWorks and select “Activate Licenses”
· Follow the onscreen instructions, and prompts. Fill out the form with the required information making sure that you select the appropriate location “Home” or “Office” under the “Location of Use” menu.
· The activation will take some time to process as it communicates with the SolidWorks License Server.
· You will then see a confirmation window that the Activation Succeeded and you are ready to Design with SolidWorks.
To Deactivate a License
· If you receive a new machine to do your SolidWorks designing on you will need to deactivate a license of SolidWorks before uninstalling the software off the old machine.
· Start SolidWorks and go to the Help menu in SolidWorks and select “Transfer Licenses”
· Follow the onscreen instructions and prompts, and wait as the deactivation will take some time to process as it communicates with the SolidWorks License Server.
· Once SolidWorks is deactivated you can then uninstall and move the software to your new machine and follow the Activation process listed above.
Design better!
