Noticed New Licensing Mumbo Jumbo Change on Rev3.1 3

[Rocko]

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

Wrong Rocko......Pro/E uses FlexLM as it's license manager and I can check out my license anytime I want to work at home.

Rocko,
You can't blame the software companies. They also do their best.
I have installed SOlidWorks and other software on a lot of pc's. Some work well some don't, depends on the pc settings. I actually went through approx 20 pc's, set them exactly the same, worked out the bugs, loaded SolidWorks. They had no problems. All users were happy.
If a user starts having problems, it is because he/she had changed something.
There are a lot of things that can go wrong with so many OS's and software/hardware variables. Then throw in user variables. Everyone is trained different and think different.
SolidWorks does their best to keep up with them.

Here is the answer from SW on my question about dual boot systems:

Question: A partitioned hard drive utilizing a multi boot configuration has SolidWorks installed on each partition using the same activation serial number. Will this count as two activations or one activation when running SolidWorks in each operating system?

Answer: As long as the boot drive is the same for each operating system in a multi-boot configuration, there will be a prompt to activate both versions of SolidWorks but it will only count as one activation.
