Installing Using the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager

If you install using the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager, the following options are available:
  • Individual install

    SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard is preselected on the Product Selection page.

    For SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard, you must install SQL Express before installing the SOLIDWORKS PDM database server. You can either install SQL Express or point to your existing SQL Express database.

    If you have a license for SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional you can install Item Explorer.

  • Administrative image

    If your organization uses the SOLIDWORKS Administrative Image Option Editor, you can create and deploy the administrative image for SOLIDWORKS PDM simultaneously with other SOLIDWORKS products.

  • Server products

    For SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, run the installation with Server products selected to install the SolidNetWork License Manager, the archive server, and the database server, if these are on the same machine, or run the installation separately on two different machines to install these servers.
