Old SP Eligibility
Old SP Eligibility
(OP)
I started this company a few months ago. They have
SWX 05. Not sure when it was purchased but since then
the subscription has expired and they have never
recieved any sp upgrades. Question is are they still
eligible for any 05 upgrades. Do they still exist...???

active subscription to get it...
RE: Old SP Eligibility
If you buy a company who holds a valid license, I believe you can kick in subscription again to get updates, but will probably also have to pay a fee along with that--but the license ought to be valid. If so, you get updates up to current version.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

You'll get notifications about new SP's if you load SolidWorks, go into Help / Service Packs and put a checkmark next to "Check for a new service pack once a week." It would be better if the local VAR's gave us that notification (mine seems to notify me of everything else except that), but that's at least a way to know when they're available.
RE: Old SP Eligibility
FYI if you find a bug that affects your work and it is fixed in a Service Pack, you are entitled to that Service Pack even if you don't have subscription. Talk to your VAR about this.
However, if the bug is fixed in a new release you are not entitled to that new release unless you have subsciption.
Example
Customer buys 2005 SP4.0 no subscription, finds a bug that is fixed in 2005 SP5.0, then they are entitled to SP5.0.
Customer buys 2005 SP5.0 no subscription, finds a bug that is fixed in 2006 SP0, they are not entitled to 2006 SP0.
Cheers,
