Monitoring License Idle Time

SOLIDWORKS can register idle time with the SolidNetWork License Manager so that licenses that have not been used for a certain amount of time are returned to the free license pool.

  1. In the SolidNetwork License Manager installation directory, create a text file:
    SolidNetWork_License_Manager_install_dir\Licenses\sw_d.opt
  2. Add the following line to the file:
    TIMEOUTALL seconds

    where seconds is a number greater than or equal to 900 (15 minutes), which is the minimum time allowed.
