To log in to a vault from an Enterprise PDM client, a license that matches the currently installed license type and version must be available. To add or modify licenses, you use the Set License dialog box available from the Administration tool.
Enterprise PDM licenses are maintained on the SQL database server where the file vault databases are hosted.
After you create the first Enterprise PDM vault or upgrade to a new version of Enterprise PDM, you must add a new license file. You only need to apply the license file once, in one of the available vaults on the server. The licenses contained in the file are valid on all Enterprise PDM vaults on the server.
To add or modify licenses:
- Open the Administration tool by doing one of the following:
- On Windows 7 and Windows Server systems prior to Windows Server 2012, click .
- On Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 or later, on the Apps screen, under SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, click Administration
- Right-click the License node and select Open.
- In the Set License dialog box, under License file, do one of the following:
- Enter the path to the license file.
- Click
and browse to the license file.
- Click OK.
The licenses contained in the license file are installed.
- Reopen the Set License dialog box to view the licenses.
