Link to the Show / Show Notes2008 Product Licensing:
This podcast covers product licensing for standalone and networks seats of SolidWorks and COSMOS. Product activation has been a necessary evil to the mainstream software industry since Microsoft introduced Windows XP. Many companies spin the introduction of this DRM (digital rights management)as an ease of management or simplicity of installation but as we all know sometimes issues come up. In this show, my goal is to make you aware of what is possible and ways to manage your current license setup. Topics Covered:
- Activation info capture
- Activation Manager info
- Activation Tips
- New SolidWorks Network License Manger (SNL) capabilities
- SNL hosting both SolidWorks and COSMOS
- Example licensing configurations now supported
I hope in the end it will be clear how to manage your licenses and a few tips to make licensing worries a thing of the past. SolidWorks is aware of the issues with SolidWorks Installation Manager (SWIM) and hopefully it will be make the rest of the install and licensing process seamless! ~Lou
