Use your SOLIDWORKS ID or 3DEXPERIENCE ID to log in.

When I start Solidworks Electrical 2018 SP4, I get the error:
"Cannot connect to database. Please verify connection parameters:

Database: (database)

Hostname: (hostname)

User ID: (my user id)"

When I click "OK", I get another message:

"Database of projects is not opened. Verify your license or database version."

When I click "OK", I go to the main SolidWorks Electrical screen, but I cannot open the Projects Manager, or Archive or Unarchive any environments.

I have verified that Microsoft SQL is installed and running correctly. My company's license info is correct. The database I'm supposed to be working from is present.

This error does not occur with SolidWorks 3D, only with Electrical.

How should I proceed?
