SOLIDWORKS Product Activation Results

This screen displays the results of the SOLIDWORKS Product Activation action to activate, reactivate, deactivate, or show licenses.

Result

If you activate, reactivate, or deactivate a license, Result indicates whether the action succeeded or failed.

In SOLIDWORKS, you can show activated licenses by clicking > Licenses > Show

Activated Products

If you activated or deactivated a license, the Currently activated products listing displays all licenses that you activated during this session:
  • If you activated licenses, all SOLIDWORKS products that you activated in this session appear.
    This listing shows only those products that you activated during this session; it does not display any products that you activated previously. To see all activated products on this computer, exit this screen and click > Licenses > Show in the SOLIDWORKS software.
  • If you deactivated licenses, the listing is empty because you did not activate SOLIDWORKS licenses during this session.

If you show licenses, the Currently activated products listing displays the activated licenses on this computer.

Starting with SOLIDWORKS 2024, the About SOLIDWORKS Product Activation dialog box shows all the Computer IDs available on the client machine. This information may be helpful when you contact Technical Support or reseller. To access this dialog box in SOLIDWORKS, click > Help > Licenses > Show. Then, in the About SOLIDWORKS Product Activation dialog box, click About.

Reactivated Products

If you selected perpetual licenses to reactivate, the Currently activated products listing displays all the activated products.

If you show licenses, the Currently activated products listing displays the following dates for each reactivated product:

  • The date that the current activation or license expires
  • The date that maintenance expires
  • The next required reactivation date

How to Proceed

If you activate, reactivate, or deactivate a license, click Finish to exit SOLIDWORKS Product Activation. You can click Back to process other SOLIDWORKS product licenses.

If you show activated licenses, click OK to exit.
When showing licenses, Back is not available. To activate or deactivate licenses, you must exit this screen and click > Licenses > Activate or > Licenses > Deactivate in the SOLIDWORKS software.
