Installing 3DEXPERIENCE Apps

If you manage data using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can purchase the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role to connect your Desktop environment to the platform.

This role provides access to 3DEXPERIENCE apps that enable SOLIDWORKS Desktop products to save, search, and manage data stored on the platform. You can also use the web-based SOLIDWORKS Connected app. For installation details, see Installation.

You install and license these apps from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, not the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager. For installation instructions, in the SOLIDWORKS Help, see Working with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform and 3DEXPERIENCE Apps > Installing the 3DEXPERIENCE Apps.

Search 'Installing 3DEXPERIENCE Apps' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
