How to Install SolidNetWork license manager server?
In this article we will see how to install a SolidNetWork license manager server and activate it.
Instructions
Locate the SOLIDWORKS Installation file set that you just downloaded and run Setup.exe
Select Install Server Components and Install SolidNetWork License Manager then click Next
3. You will then enter all SOLIDWORKS Network Serial Numbers. Multiple serial numbers can be separated by commas (,)
4. Choose the default installation location C:\Program Files (x86)\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SolidNetWork License Manager , note this is still a 32-bit application. Pick Next
5. Select I accept the terms of the SOLIDWORKS License Agreement and click Install Now to begin.
6. When the installation is complete SOLIDWORKS has a few options you can choose for joining the SOLIDWORKS Customer Experience Improvement Program. Select the Yes, I want to join option as this will be very helpful for DS SolidWorks Corp. This is a confidential program and it will not effect your system performance. Read our SOLIDWORKS Customer Experience article to learn more.
7. Then pick Finish and you’ll find the SolidNetWork License Manager under the Start menu.
8. Launch the SolidNetWork License Manager application through the Start menu (Start > SOLIDWORKS Tools 20XX > SolidNetWork License Manager Server).
9. If this is a new install of the License Manager, a dialog box will indicate that ‘No SolidNetWork license(s) exist, would you like to activate now?’ Select Yes.
10. The License Server Information dialog allows you to customize which TCP ports for connectivity between client and server. The default port number is 25734. This can be modified if the port is already in use by another application. If firewalls are present, select ‘A firewall is in use on this server’. This will use port 25735 by default. Click Next.
NOTE: The ports specified above will need to be opened through firewalls on both the server and client machines. Both ports 25734 and 25735 must be opened for incoming and outgoing traffic on your local network.
11. Select the licenses to activate and the activation method. If the server has an active internet connection, then you can select Automatically over the Internet and pick Next.
NOTE: NOTE: If the server does NOT have an internet connection, select Manually via email to save a file that can be transferred to another computer with internet access (i.e. via USB key). This file, called ‘SWActivateRequest’, can be emailed to activation@solidworks.com.
You will receive a reply email within a few minutes with a file called ‘SWActivateResponse’. Copy this file back to the server and return to the Manual activation process. Use ‘Open’ the SWActivateResponse file to complete the activation. If you do not receive a response, check your Junk/Spam email folders.
12. After license activation a confirmation screen is displayed reporting that the activation has completed successfully. Select Finish. If you have difficulties activating, please let us know.
