Service Pack product updates can contain updates for system reliability,
program compatibility, security, and so on.
You can acquire product updates in two ways:
- By using SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager to check for, download, and
install updates.
You can initiate SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager
manually, or schedule it to check periodically for updates.
- By downloading service packs manually from the SOLIDWORKS support
website.
Service packs are applied as patches to an existing software
version. For example, SOLIDWORKS
2024
SP1.0 is a service pack for SOLIDWORKS
2024
SP0.0. You can install these service packs using SOLIDWORKS
2024
Installation Manager; you cannot install them using SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager in
SOLIDWORKS
2023.
For
help
on downloading and installing service packs, see the installation documentation for the
SOLIDWORKS version you are updating.
