Always
start
the SolidNetWork License Manager from the Start menu.
You must
connect
to the SolidNetWork License Manager to borrow the license.
These steps might vary depending on your system
configuration. Consult Microsoft Windows documentation for additional instructions and
options.
In the License Usage tab, you can also view the Total licenses,
Free licenses, and Licenses used by the
user, and Borrowed until dates.
Select Only use borrowed licenses (faster startup)
if you are working remotely and your SOLIDWORKS applications are slow to open.
This option blocks queries to your license servers, which can be slow in
some environments. The applications can start faster by omitting the queries, but
only use the
licenses you borrowed.
Restart your applications for this option to take effect.
