What kind of license do you need?
Make sure you are choosing the right SOLIDWORKS license for you. We offer both perpetual and subscription based SOLIDWORKS licenses. Evaluate your long-term needs and budget to determine which option best suits your requirements. Options are below.
Named User Licensing:
This license type is a license that is assigned to one username. You can access it from anywhere at any time by logging in with your credentials. If SOLIDWORKS isn't installed on the computer, you can easily download it and sign in to start. With this licensing type the local install can be installed across multiple computers.
Standalone Licensing:
This license can only be accessed through the single device that it has been downloaded on and the license is validated by a serial number. This option is fine for users on a single computer but isn’t suggested for teams utilizing the license on multiple computers.
This license allows you to check out a seat of SOLIDWORKS when you need to use the software as it draws from a pool of license hosted on your company’s server. The number of seats purchased is equal to the number of employees that can access the software concurrently.
How do you want to buy it?
If you decide to purchase the license as a subscription, you can either pay for it quarterly or yearly. It gives you access to cloud services, updated tools, tech support and the latest version of SOLIDWORKS after every update.
If you decide to purchase a perpetual license, it will never expire. You will always have access to the version that you purchased. Perpetual licenses also come with annual maintenance fees to get the latest software version, use cloud services, and receive tech support.
*3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is not sold as a perpetual license.
