Performing the SWTaskAddin Upgrade

If the version of SWTaskAddin is earlier than the version of Enterprise PDM, you can upgrade SWTaskAddin by importing a .cex file.

1. Start the Administration tool by doing one of the following:
   • On Windows 7 and Windows Server systems prior to Windows Server 2012, from the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM > Administration.
   • On Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 or later, on the Apps screen, under SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM, click Administration.
2. Log in to the vault where you want to upgrade SWTaskAddin as an administrator.
3. Click File > Open.
4. Navigate to C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM\Default Data\ and select Convert_GB.cex.
5. In the dialog box that appears, expand Convert_GB.cex, select SWTaskAddin, and drag it to the Addins node in the left pane.
6. In the message box, select Yes to update the existing add-in.
7. In the Windows notification area, right-click the SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM icon and click Task Host Configuration to verify that SWTaskAddin has been upgraded.
   If the client you just upgraded acts as a task host, exit Enterprise PDM and log in again before performing the verification.
