HOW TO UPGRADE SOLIDWORKS TO NETWORK LICENSE SERVER MANAGER

SOLIDWORKS comes with the two types of license systems one is standalone and another one is SOLIDWORKS network license. In standalone license we can use the license on same system where it is installed, in network license, we can share the license among the users which are connected in the network, the add-ins are floating in nature.

When it comes to upgrading the standalone license, we can simply upgrade via the SOLIDWORKS installation files, but in case of network license we must upgrade the solidnetwork license manager server then only we can upgrade our SOLIDWORKS system.

Below are the steps to be followed when it comes to upgrading SOLIDWORKS network license manager,

Step1: Download the SOLIDWORKS license manager file
