Are there any issues with using PDMWorks with a combination
of network and standalone licenses? We have 8 network licenses and
are about to renew service on 3 standalones. We don't yet use
PDMWorks but I'd like to get it running soon.
We have a combination of network and standalone licenses and
use PDMWorks Workgroup.
There is no problem in regard to this particular setup but we did
have some obscure problem where PDMWorks would automatically
install eDrawings but not in the "pro" version and then SolidWorks
Explorer would not load the PDMWorks add-in supposedly because of a
lack of available license but it was because this version of
eDrawing was not managing correctly the license rights... Not sure
I explain this correctly but the cure was to do a re-install of
eDrawings, then an option was available to "Enable SolidWorks
Network Licensing"
Also take note that a SolidWorks Explorer user that has the PDMW
add-in enabled will use a license.
