    SW New Copy Protection Is a Big Problem Beware for 2008

    SW recently changed something with their copy protection. Now even if you have saved the past updates for SW2008. If you are no longer on subscription they will not install. It states you must be on active subscription service to install service packs. What a load of BS. I had a active...

    Is It True You must Be on Subscription/Maintenance to Install Updates

    I hear that if you are no on maintenance or subscription and lets say you buy a new pc and install SW onto it you cannot install the latest build even if you have saved them on a cd? Is this true? If so it is total BS.

    Noticed New Licensing Mumbo Jumbo Change on Rev3.1

    You guys noticed how SW is now saying you may or may not be able to have more than one copy of SW per license. I guess the days of the old home copy are gone. It looks like they are trying to become more like Pro E everyday. LOL

    Any problems with Firewall Software and Solidworks?

    I was interested to see if anybody has had any problems with SW running and having a program like ZoneAlarm (firewall software) running. We are updating our internet and internal security due to the number of hackers and viruses because of the number of clients we deal with and vast number of...

    Well SW2004 and no Pro-E import of 2001+ files

    Well i am disappointed that the SW2004 does not have the import for Pro-E wildfire files like the beta of sw2003 had for a short period of time. I wish SW would communicate the status of this instead of burying there head in the sand. and before everybody goes on about bringing in dumb solids...

    Is Pro-e slowly becoming extinct?

    I have noticed that in the last year and half quite a few clients have slowly been replacing Pro-E with other CAD Packages. The new packages seem to be powerfull and alot less expensive overall than Pro-E. Don't get me wrong they keep typically one seat current and active for communication with...

    Edrawings With Customer Oriented Settings

    I was thinking this morning what a pain it is to remember what Edrawing Format will go through all of my different customers firewall and Security protocols. It would be nice if SW had a pull down menu for us to put customer names and remember the format (exe, masked exe, html,edrw ect..) that...

    What about the Pro-E Decryptor for Solidworks?

    I guess PTC has been trying to stop SW from letting them decrypt and import Pro-E files with feature tree intact.

    Pro-E Decryptor is Dead

    Well a company that we do work with was told by a ptc rep that ptc cannot come to an agreement with SW on the decryptor that was supposed to be in SW2003. They have also threatened legal action against SW if it shows up in the future. I am a little ticked since it was advertised when we bought...
