Unable to launch Solidworks after the 2015 update

Hello

I installed Solidworks 2014 today, I launched it, it worked fine, no problems.

So I updated to the 2015 SP0 in the process.

And since when I want to launch it it shows me this??

For your information, we have a PREMIUM license, I didn't have to choose the version during the update, why is he looking for a standard version?

Thank you for your feedback.

Hello

Have you successfully updated your license server to the 2015 version?

Oh no, not at all! How should we do it please? I go to the license manager and start an update check?

Hello

As Benoit says, you have to update the license server in 2015 and then reactivate the licenses in the license manager on the server.

Re

In your install directory there is a SWlicmgr folder that contains the setup.

And above all, don't forget not to update, but to do a new installation!

@Coyote and the others too^^

 

For the transition from one service pack to another, no worries.

 

But when changing the version, it is strongly advised not to update.

 

It is rather advisable to redo a clean installation next to it.

 

Let's imagine that we are on Solidworks 2014 Sp4 and that we want to switch to Solidworks 2015 Sp0, while keeping the 2014 version just in case (which is recommended during new versions that are not yet too stable)

 

You have to install the 2015 next to the 2014 and rename the installation folders of the 2 versions.

 

Solidworks data 2014 and Solidworks data 2014. The same goes for the toolbox. This avoids version conflicts and incompatibility issues.

 

Afterwards, when the old version is no longer used, simply delete it.

 

In any case, this is what Dassault recommends doing.

@bart for SolidWorks OK we agree but for the floating license manager an update works perfectly
