Modifying an Installation

You can modify an installation to install products that have not been installed. For example, if you have the basic SolidWorks software and have purchased SolidWorks Office Professional or SolidWorks Office Premium, enter the new serial number to modify the installation.

If you installed SolidWorks and purchased an add-in at a later time, you can modify the installation to include the new add-in. You must install the add-in on each individual machine.

PDMWorks Workgroup is not installed if you are modifying your original SolidWorks or SolidWorks Office package to include SolidWorks Office Professional or SolidWorks Office Premium.

To modify an installation:

1. Make sure no SolidWorks sessions are active.

2. In Windows, open the Control Panel and double-click Add or Remove Programs.

7. Click Next.

8. Select the products to install, and then click Next.
