I am using the education version of solidworks, and it is not letting me activate it. I have entered the serial key supplied by the email sent from solidworks.
I get error messages on both the automatic registration and the manual (by email) registration.
This is what it looks like when i try to do the "recommended" way.
This is what it looks like when I try to save the file to do the email registration.
Any help would be awesome, Thanks!
Paul,
Did you download the educational version?
I would contact SW and ask them to make sure the activation code you reveived has been truly activated.
I did download the educational version, and I have sent them an email. Just thought I would try my luck on the forums also.
Fair enough. My only other thought is did you make sure if you are running a 64 bit machine that you
downloaded the 64 bit version?
You might want to uninstall it and clean out the regististry, redoanload it and try installing it again.
See if the second time around give you better luck.
Paul what are your system and OS details???
Are you trying on install on OS other than Windows?
If yes then SolidWorks is not supported to run on any Apple®/Mac® hardware in any configuration, running any operating system. SolidWorks is only supported when running on PC-based systems. Please refer system requirements on SolidWorks website for details.
I redownloaded it and contacted customer service and reinstalled it a couple times then it worked. Thanks for all your help.
