Hi , after almost whole day of testing I have find the problem

Solidworks 2019 sp5 freeze every several minutes for about 5-10 seconds .
This happens ONLY if I work with borrowed license .
Even if computer connected to work Network but license is borrowed .
It freezes no matter if I'm in sketch , assembly , drawing
or even browsing some menus of solidworks , for example option or customize …

Solid works almost perfect if working without borrowing

anybody have suggestion how to fix this problem ?

windows-7-64 .

solidworks 2019 sp5

PDM-27.50.0077

Hi,

I've been having this problem myself for some time now and it's getting very annoying.
I even changed my computer and the problem is still there. Crazy!!!!

I am also having the same issue. Very, very frustrating having Solidworks freeze very 2 minutes for 30 seconds. I turned off auto-save and verified that all the file locations within the settings were local. Makes it nearly impossible to work on a part. I looked at the CPU, GPU, and memory usage and they are hardly used. Solidworks Rx giving me the green checkmark. I have an Intel i7, 32gb ram, and NVidia Quadro M1200 and get the issue even when just beginning a part.

I was using a multi-license version of Solidworks that required borrowing a license. I finally installed a stand-alone, which fixed the problem. I assume that Solidworks was still trying to verify the license every two minutes using the network, which was unavailable.

Got a workaround! Asked from our VAR and they asked to test what happens is I borrow a license and remove all servers from the list after that. And that works! No jumming after that! Sooo GREAT!!

Forgot to add a registry entry for this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager]
"SW_D_LICENSE_FILE"="25734@mylicenseserveraddresshere"
"FLEXLM_TIMEOUT"="100000"

Timeout is microseconds so value 100000 equals to 0,1 sec
