Here are few things you must check before you upgrade to a newer version of SOLIDWORKS. So, when it comes to upgrading SOLIDWORKS it is necessary to first upgrade the SolidNetWork License Manager (SNL) on the server machine before upgrading SOLIDWORKS on client machines. – Depending on firewall security, inbound and outbound exceptions may need to be done for ports 25734-25735.Most companies have their SOLIDWORKS licenses on a network. the computer has SolidWorks 2019, 20, and the SNL server is installed, update or modify the latest installation instance of SolidWorks.
– If any of the client computers are running parallel installations, e.g. Updating the SNL server follows the same steps as outlined in Section 1. Updating the client before the server will cause the SolidWorks client to cease working. – The SNL server must be updated before the client installation can be updated to the latest SolidWorks service pack. The client can run any earlier versions of SolidWorks as long as it does not supersede the SNL Server. if the SolidWorks server is 2019 Service Pack 3, the latest the client installation can be is SolidWorks 2019 Service Pack 3 and earlier.
An important detail to note is that the server must be on the latest release compared to the client, i.e.
– SolidWorks releases 5-6 service packs per annual release. NB: Activation is not required for the client installation this is taken care of on the server side. You can also double check these details by accessing the “Server List” tab in the SolidNetWork License Manager Server).Ĩ) Continue the installation as if it is a standalone installation. (Can choose Year release and Service Pack).Ģ) When the installation manager pops up, you will start on the Welcome page:Įnter the server details (as you have specified in Step 6 of Section 1. Add/edit and products for installation as needed and then click on Download and Modify.ħ) A pop-up box will appear to point the client to the server:ġ) After obtaining the SolidWorks installation file via the Customer Portal -> Downloads and Updates, Run the setup file downloaded. Add any installation changes as needed and then click Next.Ħ) You will be directed to the Summary page. enter the SNL serial number under the 3D design category, enter any Visualization, Simulation, etc licenses that you have for your SNL serial number entitlement.ĥ) You will then be directed to the Product Selection page. 3) If your computer/s don’t have an existing standalone installation, copy the same installation file set obtained from SolidWorks Customer Portal and when the Installation Manager pops up, tick “Individual (on this computer)” and Click Next.Ĥ) Enter the SNL Serial number/s for all the products you are entitled to.
