Installing and Configuring SolidNetWork Licensing

SOLIDWORKS PDM manages licensing using SolidNetWork License (SNL) Manager. Installing SolidNetWork Licensing includes:
  • Installing the SolidNetWork License Manager.
    If you already have a SolidNetWork License Manager installed for SOLIDWORKS, you can use it with SOLIDWORKS PDM. You must ensure that it is updated to the SOLIDWORKS PDM release version.

    Starting with SOLIDWORKS 2022, you must reactivate SolidNetWork License products yearly even if the licensed products are from an earlier release.

  • Activating client licenses.
  • Configuring the SolidNetWork License server for use with the file vault.
  • Ensuring that the SolidNetWork License server is accessible to all clients.
