Hello, for an obscure IT reason some of our CAD stations will be deactivated Office. Which features of solidworks and PDM are going to be impossible to use?
Hello
Very good question, but already everything that is part family via excel seems the most logical to me.
All that is custom properties, since in my case the list of choices are made via excel too.

The presence of Office is one of the prerequisites for using SW...

Quite Fuz3D:
The use of Solidworks without Excel at least seems difficult to me, if not impossible.
From memory, solidworks must give somewhere the prerequisites of a SW installation
PDM will soon be worse since you will soon have to buy a SQL license from microsoft because Sw will no longer provide it with the software (but strangely the cost of PDM does not go down for customers: it's still that much margin in + ....)

Hello
We are on office 365, we had difficulty accessing the office platform, Soliworks was no longer stable at that time.
A lot of error messages from soliworks.
Family room impossible to open
Unstable solidworks assembly.

So we have to go back to classic licenses.
Interesting feedback.
We're in the process of migrating to 365, it promises to be a great time coming!
Yes I had several feedbacks on 365 and SW
It's really not optimal ;-(

Hello
I also confirm that 365 and SW don't mix,
It is better to have a standard license, even an old one.
I am giving an answer that I posted elsewhere:
Apparently there are 2 kinds of Office 365:
- one that is only online (Apps version);
- one that is installed on the machine.
And for SW, it's the second that is needed, knowing that obviously it's not the same price.
