If you have been using a product
through a machine activation license, there are two ways to notify the SOLIDWORKS
Product that you have switched to an online license:
- When you attempt to log into a SOLIDWORKS product, a message informs you
that the serial number you have entered has been reset for an online
license. Restart the product and log in.
- Your administrator can set the product to use online licensing instead of a
serial number through the Administrative Image Option Editor. Each product
installed this way will prompt you to log in, when you launch the
software.
