I purchased a student version in Jan 2019 for a CAD class. it ended in May. I drew some stuff up for a class today while in class. Took it home to work on it and my student version 2018 bought in JAN 2019 won't let me open it. to work on it away from school. It's not cool.
Yep that is the message I got.
The student version license is only valid for the one academic year, so you'll need a new license for 2019-2020 anyway.
Hi,
as your college is using SOLIDWORKS 2019-2020, probably they are on subscription. In this case, they should be able to give Student Premium home use licenses. You should ask your educator for one.
What message do you get? Or do the files just do not open? Without any other information, my guess is the files you brought home are a future version. No backward compatibility ever.
