Let’s talk about your SOLIDWORKS network license and debunk those myths with facts. Which one of these 5 are you guilty of believing?
You accidentally received extra licenses (yassss!).
Not true. Only once in 5 years have I seen SOLIDWORKS write an incorrect license file. The way licenses are listed in the SNL can be misleading. Suppose you have a network license containing 1 Professional License and 1 Standard license. The SNL will show 1 Professional License and 2 Standard Licenses. Why? Because when you are pulling a Professional license, the license manager is releasing a Standard license and the Professional ADD-INS. So really the license manager listing should read “Professional ADDINS”, rather than “Professional”. You cannot pull a Professional or Premium license without pulling a Standard license.
