Before users can run SOLIDWORKS products on their individual
computers, you must activate a SolidNetWork license on the SolidNetWork License Manager
computer.
Activation requires that you have an active internet connection or
email access. After activation, you do not need to be online to use the products. If
you do not have email access on the computer where you use this product, you can
save the activation file and send it from another computer.
This process:
- Activates the SOLIDWORKS SolidNetWork License Manager with
SolidNetWork licenses across SOLIDWORKS products.

SolidNetWork licensing rights from one SolidNetWork License Manager computer

- Lets

Manager computer.

licenses.
- Eliminates the need for dongles. If you activate a SolidNetWork license for
this version of SOLIDWORKS, SolidNetWork licenses for previous versions of
SOLIDWORKS are activated.
You
no longer need to retain the
dongle.
