Upgrading an Administrative Image

To upgrade an administrative image, SolidWorks Installation Manager creates a new image directory. You then direct clients to use the new administrative image directory to upgrade to that product version.

This process assumes you have downloaded any updated installation files for the administrative image.

  1. Start SolidWorks Installation Manager (as described under Initiating SolidWorks Installation).
  2. In the Welcome screen, select the following:


    • Administrative image and server products
    • Create or update an Administrative Image.

  3. On the Serial Number screen, check the serial number.
  4. On the Summary (Ready to Create Image) screen, check that the administrative image options are correct.

    For details about individual administrative image and installation options, click CHANGE to go to the option page and then click Help.

  5. To create the new version of the administrative image, click Create Now.

You can now upgrade clients to this new version of the administrative image.
