In the past if you were a PDMWorks Enterprise administrator (or an admin over a lot of other PDM systems), you had two miserable options ahead of you once you upgraded your users to the newest SOLIDWORKS version.
- Do you manually check out all the files, run the upgrade wizard then check them back in to bring your files to the newest version (thus making a huge mess with anyone who cares at all about version history -let alone what it is going to do to your workflow)
- Do you leave the files in the vault as they are and listen to your users gripe about the constant SOLIDWORKS message: “The following documents will be converted when saved:”? [Personally, I always got a kick out of watching users squirm, that is another blog topic for another day.]
Without much (or as far as I can tell, any) fanfare, PDMWorks Enterprise fixed all that with a new program included on the service pack 2.0 CD <errrr> DVD! Check out the 2.0 release notes to learn more. Saaaaay…reading the release notes finally paid off!
For Enterprise 2009, the program is located in: “SupportFile Version Upgrade” on your install CD.
Hi, I have run the upgrade.exe from client machine. But it asked the instruction file. I dont know what it asking for the file upgrade to 2009

The upgrade.exe file is for administrators to upgrade the database, not the actual SW files.
