SW 2008 SP 0.0

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

Thanks, but I think I'll wait a while.

cheers

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

How stable were the beta and pre releases?

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

The PR2 that I am still using is very stable... I have not crashed one time using it... my system is old and is slower then it is with SW07... but that was to be expected.

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

I can't seem to find the area of the SolidWorks website that allows you to request upgrade licenses for 2008.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

rjason71 ... Do you mean the Download Centre in the Customer Portal where you can download the latest version or patch? If you are not on subscription, you will need to contact your VAR to purchase a 2008 license.

cheers

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

I can get to the Download area to DL SW2008 in the SolidWorks Customer Portal but I can't find the licensing area.  We are on support.

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

You have to log in using a Username and password... then you will get the option to select "register my products" that's how you get your license file.

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

If you mean the Product Activation, that happens during installation.

cheers

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

OK. I found register my products but it only allows up to 2007 as an option.

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

Was you current version not registered? If it was registered you will be given the new one (if req'd) also during installation.

cheers

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

This is a network license BTW.

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

i  saw a introduction of 2008
was very disappointed
they could not get cosmosflow to work
and the fea calc was also disappointing

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

I found a link to get a temporary 2008 license file when I clicked on the SW2008 download link, like I was going to start downloading the software.  I found the following item:

RE: SW 2008 SP 0.0

I saw the intro too, but actually I was kind of impressed with how many bugs they had fixed since the last beta's, especially since they didn't remove a dozen of new functions to get back on track.

Seems like they introduced a lof of new concepts in 2008, some still a little rough around the edges, but I suppose they will improve on that with the SPs.

Thanks PDMAdmin.  I was still confused up until your post.
