I just bought the Solidwork Student edition and at the end of the set up when i click install i get a window that says

"Specify the port number and server name for the SNL server . The default is . For example , "25734@myserver". Separate entries for multiple servers with semicolons.

Port@server : 25734@localhost

If the port number and server location are not specified solidworks products may fail to run ."

Im Installing this in my pc . I dont know what port should i use and if i cancel i get this msg

"Do you want to continue without a valid SNL server. "

No one else has this question

This means that the serial number you used is a network number and not a single computer standalone number. Can you let me know where you got this Serial Number from?

    It sounds like they sent you the wrong type of Serial Number then. You can still use this however, just to confirm standalone SN's have the third digit being a 0 where networks have a 1. If this is your case then simply install the SolidNetwork License Manager server. You can follow one of our guides on how to add products to your SOLIDWORKS installation. On step 2, instead of selecting modify you will select server products and install the SolidNetwork License Manager. Once this is done, launch this server application and activate the serial number. Then when you open SOLIDWORKS this should succeed.

      When i go to install SolidNetwork License Manager i get this message :
      
      Additional files are needed based on the products selected
      
      CheckForUpdates_sldCheckForUpdates.exe, swlicmgr.exe and swactwiz.exe
      
      You may browse to a location that contains all required files; change the products selected; or enable downloads to get the missing files.
      
      What do i do now ?

        As far as the server question after thinking about it more it sounds like the only reason it is asking you for server information is most likely from you selecting products that require server products as well. I recommend going to your product selection page and only installing the base SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD products shown below. Some of the other products like electrical and PDM will require a server to be setup.
        
        For your installation question I would recommend talking with SOLIDWORKS on this.

        I tried installing the selected files but it still asked me for the Port server. I'll be submitting a case to solidworks student support form .
        
        Thank you for your help .

  -Make sure that the 3rd digit of your serial number is a 0 not a 1, and only put this in the section for SOLIDWORKS serial number, don't fill in any other serial number sections.
  -Only select the products: SOLIDWORKS, SOLIDWORKS Languages, eDrawings, and SOLIDWORKS file utilities (this is to make sure your not installing a product that needs server components.

      Ahh that's right, it's a student edition so a standalone would mean the third digit is a 2 so that's good.

        Would this change what I need to do to troubleshoot? I tried the rest of your advice (only filling SOLIDWORKS SN and only selecting the base SOLIDWORKS program), but still get the port issue.
