The Admin Portal includes a Products
tab and a Services tab. Use the Products tab to assign and activate products. Use the
Services tab to assign services such as
eLearning courses and MySolidWorks Pro to members.
Unlike products, you cannot transfer services. Once you assign a service
to a member, you cannot remove the service from that member.
Managing Products is optional for
machine activation products, including
network license products.
You may choose to name your members and assign products to them to gain
the following benefits:
- Your members can use the login feature in the Installation
Manager to install the serial numbers assigned to them.
- Assigning subscription products to your members will grant them
access to subscription content online.
However, you do not need to name your members and assign products to them
for machine activation products. Access to machine activation products is gated by a
license server or activation events regardless of assignment in Admin Portal. In larger
organizations, you likely will not manage all members and their products.
Managing Products is required for online licensing. Likewise, Services must be assigned to named members.
