Temporary Licenses

The temporary "ANY" license creates an SNL file that can be used temporarily when a dongle is not available.

By installing the "ANY" license file, you agree to implement the traditional, dongle-based license file upon receipt of an SNL dongle from SolidWorks Corporation. Compliance with license restrictions is still required.

To install an "ANY" license file:

Existing SNL users start at step 1; new users start at step 3.

  1. Uninstall the SNL Manager and delete the install folder.

  2. Remove the dongle from your computer.

  3. Follow the installation instructions under License Server Installation.

  4. Click Cancel when you see the following message:

"Could not read the Globetrotter dongle ID number.
Please make sure the dongle is firmly connected on this computer then press Retry."

The Dongle ID "ANY" appears automatically.

  1. Continue with the installation.
