Now that we have the license borrowed we can disconnect from the network and the license will be available to use. If you leave this as it came up it will borrow a Premium & a Standard seat of SOLIDWORKS. Once I select the Borrow I get presented with this window that allows to select the lower license of Standard from the pull down. Then select the product, now I selected Premium as this is what our licenses all are but if I want I can select Standard. First let’s select when we would like to borrow it until. Now that SOLIDWORKS is closed and we see we have a license that we want available we can borrow it. Now if you had opened the license Manager from inside SOLIDWORKS close it as it can cause errors when trying to borrow.Īnd then what shows that you borrowed will look like this instead of that. This is intended to show this as technically you do not own just Standard it comes with your Pro & Premium licenses.

This can be confusing as it will show that there are 0 free of SOLIDWORKS Standard if all of your licenses are Pro or Premium. Here check to see that there are licenses available at the level you want to borrow. Once this is open you will be on the License Usage tab, will need to select the License Borrow tab. The other is from inside SOLIDWORKS the Help pull down a link to open the SolidNetwork License Manager… One is from the Windows Start/SOLIDWORKS 20xx/SOLIDWORKS Tools/SolidNetwork License Manager. So we decided to put together some information on the correct way to borrow your license.įirst you will need to open your License Manager, this can be accessed in a couple ways.

There are also some times errors that happen if you do attempt and did not do it correctly. We have several times been asked how to borrow a license from your network so you can work from home or on the road.
