Using a SOLIDWORKS Product in Offline Mode

When you are using a SOLIDWORKS product with an online license, you can set offline mode to the software when you do not have an internet connection.

To work in offline mode:

  • In the SOLIDWORKS title bar, right-click the Login icon and select Take License Offline.

You can continue to use the SOLIDWORKS product for 30 days without reconnecting to a SOLIDWORKS web site. At the end of 30 days, you must select Take License Offline again to continue working in offline mode.

When you are using an online license in offline mode on one machine, you cannot use that license on any other machine.
