Discover the different licensing and deployment options
The same trusted 3D CAD solution, now with two licensing options, deployment models, and cloud connectivity.
SOLIDWORKS Design is available in two modes: first, a single-user license, which allows nominal access from different devices and immediate connection to the cloud; second, a device license—whether tied to a specific computer or floating on a network—that includes the option to activate cloud capabilities at any time.
Both options feature the same functionalities, capabilities, and the same 3D CAD user interface. The main difference between them lies in the acquisition model, the deployment method, and the type of connection to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and cloud services.
User License
- Individual cloud license, assigned to a specific user and accessible from multiple devices
- Instant access to all cloud capabilities
- Reduced IT burden thanks to a simplified on-premises installation managed from the cloud
- Automatic updates with each new release
- Quarterly or annual subscription options.
Device License
- Device license, tied to a specific device and accessible to any user on that device via the serial number
- You can enable the connection to cloud capabilities at any time
- Installation managed locally or via a network deployment
- Option to work with multiple major versions or specific minor versions
- Quarterly, annual, or perpetual licensing options.
