SW2001 serial with SW2007
(OP)
Hello all,
A friend of mine has SW2001 at his workplace and would like to know if he can use that same serial for registering a home version (SW2007)as well. I know SW allows for 2 installs per serial but I am not sure about the different years he is using.
Thanks,
BB

The number of features and functionality in 2001 version is probably less than all the current functionality created since that version.
How many Install Discs were there for the 2001 Install???
Or was it distributed on Floppy
The 24 Character License Code was Implemented as of the 2008 Release and activation was added to prevent more than 2 seats being installed Work + Home. The code kept the 2007 and earlier first 16 digits but added the last 8. SolidWorks implemented the Activation process to prevent the widespread License Abuse seen in software like AutoCAD which may have been suported by AutoDesk to increase market share through widespread adaptation of software.
The above is my own opinion and does not reflect the attitude of my current place of business or Eng-Tips.

Even 2007 now requires a full 24 char Alpha Numeric (AN) serial
NNNN NNNN NNNN NNNN AAAA AAAA
(Where each 'N'is a number and each 'A' is an alpha-numeric)
If your/his company does not have 2008 version I'm not sure if they'll give the alpha numeric values to you unless you are on subscription. If the company is running a Network License Those do not have Home Edition Serials unless you request them.
Good luck in your endeavors. Never even seen the 2001 version and definately don't have the Disc/Discs I doubt it was larger than 1CD. My thoughts are you'll still need to buy a new license If they are running 2001 and are not doing new installs the Co. will do okay but to have a home version work with a 16 digit code you'll need to buy a machine off the companies hands or have them donate it. But then the'll need a 24 char code to install 2001 again.
