Installing and Configuring SolidNetWork Licensing Configuring SolidNetWork Licensing consists of installing the SolidNetWork License Manager on the license manager computer and then installing SOLIDWORKS on client computers using the SolidNetWork license serial number. Contents Installing and Activating a License Manager The SolidNetWork License Manager supports multiple license clients. It distributes licenses to clients on the network. Installing a License Client When installing SOLIDWORKS on SolidNetWork License Client computers, the serial number identifies that computer as a SolidNetWork License Client. Install SolidNetWork License Managers Before Installing License Clients You should install and configure SolidNetWork License Manager on at least one computer prior to installing any SolidNetWork license client computers. Managing Access to SOLIDWORKS Versions You can restrict users from using specific versions of SOLIDWORKS in a SolidNetWork environment. This capability allows you to manage the versions of SOLIDWORKS used by different individuals, projects, and business units. Triad License Manager Installation Triad license managers use three computers for extra stability. If the computer managing the license file is not available, one of the other two computers takes over. Using SolidNetWork Licenses with Firewalls If your computer uses a firewall, you must configure ports to support SolidNetWork Licensing.
