Newer Version Available

Installation Manager has detected a newer version of SolidWorks products. You can update to a newer version by selecting the Installation Manager for that version.

This newer version can download installation files based on the products you specify in the installation. You can share the downloaded files with other users who install using the Installation Manager.

These downloads are only for use by the Installation Manager.
These options are available:
  • If there are multiple versions available, you can select a version from the list.
  • For details about this version, click Check to see what this upgrade includes.
Clicking Next obtains and runs the selected version of the Installation Manager.

No New Downloads Available/Unable to Check for New Versions

Installation Manager has not found a newer version of SolidWorks products, either because you are installing the latest version available or because it could not connect to the SolidWorks site to check.

Scheduling Automatic Update Checks

You can schedule future update checks by selecting Check for updates every ___ days and specifying the frequency of the update check.
The automated update check runs when you start SolidWorks.
