Typically, administration of individual installations consists of modifying, repairing, removing, and upgrading installations.
Contents
You can modify an installation to install products that have not been installed or to remove products, provided that the previous installation was completed with a full set of installation files. This option is not available if you upgraded the previous installation with a service pack.
If you encounter problems with an installed SOLIDWORKS product, you can use the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager to repair the installation.
You can remove an installation on an individual computer or in a client/server environment.
There are several methods for upgrading an individual installation to a new SOLIDWORKS release.
These product coexistence rules determine how new products are installed and existing products are upgraded.
