How to Modify Your SOLIDWORKS Installation to Add Serial Numbers and Products

When installing SOLIDWORKS, selecting the desired product means that it will be installed immediately. Therefore, ensure that you have chosen all the products you want to install. Additionally, verify that you have selected the correct SOLIDWORKS package (Standard, Professional or Premium). In certain situations, such as when upgrading from one license to another, it is necessary to manually select the checkboxes for the products you wish to install.

The SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager connects to the SOLIDWORKS server to validate the typed serial numbers and determine which products they entitle you to use. Type or copy-paste the serial number of the product you want to add.

In the 'Serial Numbers' page, a SOLIDWORKS serial number is already pre-filled for the '3D Design - SOLIDWORKS' product. Select the option 'Modify your installation' and press 'Next'.

Tip: You can filter the list of programs by typing 'solidworks' in the search field.

To modify your SOLIDWORKS installation, right-click on the SOLIDWORKS installation in the list and select the option 'Change'. Then, launch Windows' 'Control Panel' and select the link 'Programs and Features'.

If you have a floating SOLIDWORKS network license (SNL) in use and there have been changes to the license (for example, new licenses have been purchased), new licenses will become available after reactivating the SOLIDWORKS license server.

This procedure is necessary when there is a change in the license (for example, upgrading from SOLIDWORKS Standard to Professional/Premium) or new licenses for add-in products (such as Composer, Visualize, Simulation, Plastics, etc.) have been purchased but SOLIDWORKS has already been installed on the workstation before buying those licenses.
