As some of you may or may not know starting with SolidWorks 2007 SP3.0
SolidWorks has moved away from a Registration Code for controlling
SolidWorks licenses and has moved to Activation Based licensing of
SolidWorks Products.
This new way of licensing SolidWorks has made is a lot easier for customers
to install and get their software up and running but has made it harder for
CAD administrators to keep track of who and where their SolidWorks
licenses have been activated.
We at CATI Tech Support have seen many customers run into these issues
as employees have left companies and new employees have started or as
computers have been upgraded within engineering. We have created a
simple Excel form that you can download from our CATI Blog
(http://blog.inflow-tech.com/cati_technotes/) to help you keep track of your
licenses.
This form is set so that you can easily keep track of either your Standalone
or Network Home Use Licenses (HUL) of SolidWorks The information inputted
into this form will also aid CATI support in the case that you have an
employee leaves the company and fails to deactivate their Home Use
License of SolidWorks. All you and your users need to do is fill in the
following information:
- Users First and Last name
- Home or Work Computer Name (see notes on form acquire Computer Name)
- Date of Installation
- Email Address that was entered into the Activation Form
- Standalone Serial Number
There is also an area to fill in information about Network Home Use License
(HUL).
If you would like more information about SolidWorks License Activation and Deactivation or some of the new information about Home Use Licensing for
SolidWorks 2008 please see the posting about these topics on the CATI
blog or by contacting CATI Technical Support at 888-285-2284 or
