I was trying to switch my SolidWorks from a premium license I had to a student license I want to use. I uninstalled SolidWorks and deleted some remaining folders relating to SolidWorks. When I installed the student version I can't click "Install on this computer" since it is greyed out.
Any help on how to fix this is appreciated.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the response. I just followed the instructions here:
Which says to install the 2020-2021 version. Maybe my installation manager is trying to install the wrong thing? I feel like 2020 SP3.0 is wrong since now they're on like SP5.0 right?

I think the SP is when the main build was done, which may or may not be SP5.
I don't believe the edu version gets SPs beyond the install as there's no support.
Perhaps contact SW to see if they can help.

So maybe this is the installation manager to the premium edition I had? How can I check to make sure I am using the student edition one?

Run setup.exe from the edu files.
Hello,
I don't remember how things were labeled when I installed my edu license (long expired and removed), and you state you want to install an edu license, but SW 2020 is shown.
Edu versions are school years 2019-2020.
Are you installing an edu version and the Installation Manager displays the normal single version?
