SolidWorks 2008 Multiple Installations
SolidWorks 2008 Multiple Installations
(OP)
Using SolidWorks 2006 SP4.1;
I am an independent contractor using my client's software license time to time to give them a hand on their projects. I would like to upgrade to at least SolidWorks 2008.
Will installing the software via the internet prevent my client's in-house designers from using the software, or are multiple users allowed activating the software?
If not, how does someone in my case use the client's license for their end means?
Any response will be greatly appreciated!

Much of it depends on how many seats they have, is it a network install or stand-alones, etc.
You might want to go to help->about SolidWorks and read the license agreement.

As for upgrading, I would always be in sync with them. They are the master & I am the slave!

Short answer ... No. However you must make sure that your license is not being used on another PC at the same time. The 80/20 rule, mentioned above, assumes there is only one user of that license.
You would need to be given the login and password to access the download site - or - be given a copy of the downloads for installation on your PC.
