If you own licenses for SOLIDWORKS CAM, SOLIDWORKS Inspection, and
SOLIDWORKS MBD, you can enable them to run in SOLIDWORKS Connected.
Benefits: The add-ins install automatically, making these tools readily
available within SOLIDWORKS Connected.
When installing SOLIDWORKS Connected,
optionally select an add-in and enter your serial number.
If you are using a
network
license, you must specify the address (port@server)
of your SolidNetWork (SNL) License server.
Once you install the add-in:
- You can activate or deactivate
stand-alone
versions from the Help menu in SOLIDWORKS
Connected.
- SNL versions retrieve a license from the license server when you
add
them.
For SOLIDWORKS Inspection specifically, when you install
SOLIDWORKS Inspection with SOLIDWORKS Connected, the add-in and stand-alone app are
installed and updated. The stand-alone app offers the same features as the SOLIDWORKS
Installation Manager version. You can start the stand-alone app from the desktop
shortcut or the Windows Start menu, not from the
3DEXPERIENCE Compass. The stand-alone app also supports the same activation
methods and SolidNetWork (SNL) licensing.
