How To Activate Your SOLIDWORKS Network License

Activate the License on the New SolidNetWork License Manager Server

First, launch the SOLIDWORKS SolidNetwork License Manager Server from the Start Menu.

If not prompted to activate, go to the Server Administration Tab, choose Modify, and then Activate/Reactivate. Take note of the server name and port number. If there’s a firewall on the server, be sure to check the box and leave the default port number. Click Next.

You will be asked if you want to activate over the internet or through email. It is recommended that you choose Automatically over the Internet.

Once the process has completed, a dialog box will appear with the result Activation/Reactivation Succeeded. Click Finish.
