For versions prior to SolidWorks 2008, use
the SolidWorks 2007 Installation Manager or download product versions
manually from the SolidWorks
support Web site. The SolidWorks Installation Manager is a standalone application that installs and updates your SolidWorks products. Each major version of SolidWorks has an Installation Manager specific to that version.
For versions prior to SolidWorks 2008, use
the SolidWorks 2007 Installation Manager or download product versions
manually from the SolidWorks
support Web site.
You can run the Installation Manager:
From a SolidWorks DVD or a shared source folder, to install a new version of SolidWorks products.
From the Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs page, to modify or remove an existing SolidWorks installation.
Through a scheduled or manual update check, to locate, download, and install new SolidWorks releases.
Serial numbers, found on the distribution box, associate your computer with the products you have purchased. If you have an internet connection, as you proceed through the installation the serial numbers you provide are used to display the products to which you are entitled when selecting the products to install.
Because there are multiple ways to purchase
SolidWorks products, some serial numbers can cover two or more products.
For example, a SolidWorks serial number might enable you to install SolidWorks
Simulation without entering a separate SolidWorks Simulation serial number.
In addition, some products, such as eDrawings, do not require a serial
number.
If you have any questions about your serial numbers, contact your VAR.
Enter your SolidWorks serial number, if you have one.
Optionally, click If you have other serial numbers from SolidWorks Corporation, enter them here to provide serial numbers for products that are not included with your SolidWorks license. Check the products for which you have serial numbers and enter all serial numbers you have been given (regardless of which products you intend to install or upgrade).
If SolidWorks products are
already installed on your computer, their serial numbers are displayed
by default.
If you are repairing an installation, click Repair This Installation. For details, see Repairing an Installation.
