A port server name for SNLSERVER and a SERVERLIST is only required for the SOLIDWORKS SNL server configuration.

The SolidNetWork server list is a delimited list of strings, each of which refers to a port number on a server with the format:
  • Triad (comma delimited)

    = xxxx@server_name1,yyyy@server_name2, zzzz@server_name3

  • Non-Triad (semi-colon delimited)

    = xxxx@server_name1,yyyy@server_name2, zzzz@server_name3

X and Y are single digits. After the last server in the list, do not put a semi-colon.
