Hello

I have 17 floating licenses via SolidNetWork on my workstation for the BE.

I have to change my PC soon and I would like to know how to manage the transfer of licenses to the new workstation?

Do you have a tutorial or an explanation?

Thank you in advance for your answers

Hello

If you are on a floating license, there is nothing to do!!

Unless you are using borrowing a license, and you are not connected to the network, licenses are available as soon as SolidWorks is closed.

You can check the number of licenses available with the "License Manager" tool:

Or since the 2014 version, "Show licenses" in the "Help" menu:

Edit: and more information on borrowing a license:

All SolidWorks licenses must be released.

  1. TRANSFER OF LICENSE  

From the license manager (on your computer, if I understood correctly):

  • Server Administration Tab
  • click on "Edit"
  • Indicate the name of your server (or machine), as well as the port number: 25734
  • Choose "automatically on the internet"
  • Enter your email address
  • Then "Next"

A message will inform you that the transfer is successful.

update the license manager (Even for SW 2014 you can set the SW2015 license manager)

  1. ACTIVATE LICENSE  

 

From the newly installed license manager:

  • Server Administration Tab
  • click on "Edit"
  • Choose "Enable/Reactivate"
  • Indicate the name of your server (or machine), as well as the port number: 25734
  • Choose "automatically on the internet"
  • Enter your email address
  • Then "Next"

A message will inform you that the transfer is successful.
