Make a note of the server name and port number used here, you will need this information when installing/upgrading software on the client machines. Normally, the default (25734) is suitable and is unlikely to be the same as any other FLEXnet server process currently on the license manager computer. The port number is a TCP/IP port number in the 1024-60000 range, used exclusively by this process.

Use the default value for Port Number (and for Vendor Daemon Port Number if you have a firewall) or specify the port numbers your company uses.

If your company uses a firewall, select “ A firewall is in use on this server”.

On the SolidNetWork License Server Information screen:.

Start the “SolidNetWork License Manager Server” from Start > Programs > SOLIDWORKS 2016 > SOLIDWORKS Tools > SolidNetWork License Manager Server.

In this guide, we dive deeper into what each option of SOLIDWORKS licensing is, how they work, and how to choose the option that best fits the way your company operates.

SOLIDWORKS licensing is based on a one-time activation that requires an internet connection. If an internet connection is NOT available, alternative methods exist and, in rare exceptions, license files can be issued to high security, “node locked” computers. The computer attempting to activate sends a request to the SOLIDWORKS activation servers, which then sends a response whether the computer is activated or not. If a license is no longer needed on a computer, the user must deactivate the license from that computer so that it can be activated on a different device. There are two ways an activation can be initiated. If you choose to activate over the internet, the transaction is quick and automatic. If there is an available license, the user will see the message “activation succeeded”. This option is used when no internet connection is available. Standalone licenses are for one user only – meaning two users may not share one standalone license, even if they are using them at different times. Once a standalone license is activated, no internet connection or network server is required to start using SOLIDWORKS. If you need to replace your current system, simply deactivate the license from your old computer and activate it on the new one. Working remotely? Here’s how to get remote access to your SOLIDWORKS Network or Standalone License. When SOLIDWORKS is needed on a machine, a network license will use a seat from the server if one is available.

Seats can also be “borrowed” from the server and checked out of the network for a set period of time.įloating SOLIDWORKS Network licenses are activated on one server within the company network often containing many seats. The SolidNetWork License manager releases these seats on an as-needed basis and keeps track of who has each seat as well as for how long.

Once a user’s computer is connected to the network with a license server, the computer will “use” a license whenever SOLIDWORKS is opened. When the program starts, it sends a request to your license server for a seat of SOLIDWORKS.
