Product Coexistence Rules

These product coexistence rules determine how new products are installed and existing products are upgraded.

Rule Examples
Multiple major release versions of a core SolidWorks product are allowed, regardless of service pack or major release (with the exception of the three products mentioned below). SolidWorks 2009 SP3.0, and SolidWorks 2010 SP0.0 can coexist on the same computer.

However, if SolidWorks 2010 SP0.0 is installed on a computer, and you install SolidWorks 2010 SP1.0, Installation Manager replaces the SP0.0 version with the new SP1.0 version.

SolidWorks 2010 SP0.0 and 2010 SP1.0 will not coexist on the same computer.

Only one version of the following products is allowed on the computer:
  • Workgroup PDM Server
  • SolidNetWork License Manager
 If SolidWorks 2010 SP0.0 is installed, Workgroup PDM Server is upgraded to 2010 SP0.0, even if an earlier major release of SolidWorks remains on the computer.
Only one version of an included product can be installed for any major version. If SolidWorks 2010 SP0.0 is upgraded to 2010 SP1.0, SolidWorks Explorer 2010 SP0.0 will automatically upgrade to 2010 SP1.0. However, SolidWorks Explorer 2009 SP4.0 can also exist on the computer.
