Administering Individual Licenses

Typically, administration of individual licenses consists of activating and transferring licenses directly from SolidWorks.

Activation is a product licensing and registration process for SolidWorks standalone (non-SolidNetWork License) licenses. Typically, if your product license has not yet been activated, SolidWorks tries to activate it when you start the product.

You can also transfer individual licenses, by clicking Help > Transfer Licenses in SolidWorks.

  • Activating a License
    Before you can run SolidWorks products on an individual computer, you must activate the license for that computer.
  • Transferring a License
    To transfer a license to a new or upgraded computer, first transfer it to the license key server at Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation, then reactivate it on the other computer.
