Removing an Installation

You can remove an installation on an individual computer or in a client/server environment.

  1. Make sure no SolidWorks sessions are active.
  2. If you wish to transfer the SolidWorks license to another computer, transfer the license to that computer before removing the SolidWorks installation on this computer.
    For information about transferring SolidWorks licenses, see Transferring a License.
  3. In Windows, open the Control Panel and double-click Add or Remove Programs.
  4. In Add or Remove Programs, select the product component to remove.
    In some cases, you might find multiple SolidWorks Service Pack components for a given major release version. To remove a SolidWorks major release, remove all Service Pack elements for that major release in Add or Remove Programs.
  5. Click Remove.
  6. On the Welcome to the SolidWorks Installation screen:
    1. Select the products to remove.
      By default, all product components are selected.
    2. Clear the products you do not want to remove.
    3. Click Remove Items.
