#TASK
v2.3 allows you to manage your SOLIDWORKS standalone license. You can configure #TASK
to automatically deactivate/transfer your SOLIDWORKS license when you exit SOLIDWORKS.
For example, you can deactivate your license on your office workstation and activate it on another machine when working from home.
To use this functionality you must:
- Enter your SOLIDWORKS path into the installation path textbox, E.g. “C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS”. in the #TASK License settings
- If you have multiple SOLIDWORKS versions installed, please use the installation path of the latest
SOLIDWORKS
version. Higher version licensing takes precedence over the lower version. - Enter an email address associated with your SOLIDWORKS license.
You can configure #TASK
to automatically deactivate/transfer your SOLIDWORKS license when you shut down SOLIDWORKS.
NOTE:
- SOLIDWORKS license activation/deactivation can be performed a limited number of times, please see your SOLIDWORKS license agreement for more information.
- Activate/deactivate functionality is only available for standalone licensing.
- If you have multiple SOLIDWORKS versions installed, please use the installation path of the latest
SOLIDWORKS
version. Higher version licensing takes precedence over the lower version. - “Automatically deactivate license after closing SOLIDWORKS” will work only if
#TASK
is running. - To avoid unintentionally affecting your transfer count, consider disabling the option to “Automatically deactivate license after closing SOLIDWORKS” or set the “Always ask me before deactivating the license” if you encounter multiple inconsistencies that result in Solidworks crashing or closing abnormally.
