Installation

Inactivity Behavior Set for SolidNetWork License Installations of DraftSight

Starting with DraftSight 2023, SolidNetWork License (SNL) installations follow inactivity behavior defined on the license server consistent with other SOLIDWORKS SNL products. Previously, this option was specified in DraftSight by the end user on the client.

This change aligns DraftSight Enterprise, DraftSight Enterprise Plus, and DraftSight Mechanical with SOLIDWORKS SNL products. Any previous timeout defined in DraftSight will be overruled by the license server.

SNL customers can configure the timeout using a FlexNet options file. For details, see SolidNetWork_License_Manager_install_dir\Docs\flexuser\licensingenduserguide.pdf.

Dassault Systèmes License Server (DSLS) installations are unchanged.

Technical Alerts

DraftSight Mechanical supports the mechanical entities that are saved in DWG files up to version 2021.
