License Timeouts

SolidWorks can register idle time with the server so that licenses that have not been used for a certain amount of time are returned to the free license pool.

To monitor license idle time:

  1. Create a text file:

<SolidNetWork_License_Manager_install_dir>\Licenses\sw_d.opt

  1. Add the following line to the file:

TIMEOUTALLseconds

  1. Replace seconds with a number greater than or equal to 900 (15 minutes), which is the minimum time allowed.
