SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional provides advanced data management tools to
SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.
It offers capabilities for advanced
version control, and for project, process, and item management. Interactive dashboards
and reports help you track items, activities, and progress toward completing
projects.
SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional has a similar architecture as SOLIDWORKS PDM
Professional. It uses a client-server architecture, with a Microsoft SQL Server database
to manage item and project data.
There are three services for database, file server, and web server
functions, which support both thick clients and web browser clients. The three services
can be hosted on the same server or separate servers. Users with SOLIDWORKS Manage
Professional Editor licenses can use a SOLIDWORKS Manage Add-in to access Manage data
directly from within SOLIDWORKS.
You can use the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager to install the SOLIDWORKS Manage
Professional server and client.
For instructions on installing SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional, see the SOLIDWORKS
PDM/SOLIDWORKS Manage Installation Guide.
