Activation differences-SW2006 and SW2007?

[kroppkaka]

I am trying to work out what version of SW I should put on my home computer.
I prefer not to transfer the license forward and back if I can.
Is there an advantage in loading the SW2006 Sp4.1 on the home machine over SW2007 in that I don't need to transfer the licencse?
Or do I now have to transfer the license on both versions?

If you have a floating license then you would have to transfer the license via FlexLM regardless of year. It's my understanding that we can still run 2007 on our home machines. Although, I have not tried this since my home computer still has windows 2000 pro.

you can use 2007 on your home machine without issue. When you install at home (after SP3) activation will pop up and when you activate just choose the home option. It's that easy.

Thanks for your replies.
Do I have to do any transfers when I leave work and do I have to transfer it back to work when I am finished at home?

I can't speak for a network license because I don't have one but if you have stand alone license(s) then no you don't need to transfer anything.

SNL there is not an issue yet, You just have to get a HUL from the VAR. It can take up to 10 days or more to process through SW.

What is a HUL?

We are converting half of our standalone licenses to floating license due to useage rates. We were told by our VAR that the only way to use these at home was to via FlexLM license check out.

Heckler, your VAR can send you individual serial numbers for home use.....as many as you have network license. You hav to sign a home license agreement.

Heckler,

Gilashard is correct, your VAR can supply an application form that they send to SolidWorks for Home User Licenses. You are entitled to as many HUL's as you have Network Licenses of SolidWorks.

We just converted our standalone seats and added a few more seats of SolidWorks, 6 total, as network licences. I have a HUL serial number from SolidWorks that will allow for 6 activations of HUL licenses.

This is a bit more work for the VAR as they need to get you the application and fax it back to SolidWorks, who will then take a week or two to issue the HUL serial number.
