how to install a vault on solidworks workgroup pdm

Justin Harwell Feb 27, 2015 9:04 AM

I have solidworks 2015 workgroup pdm. I am trying to set it up and was going through the steps. If I use the steps I get

"Vault Error: could not login to solidworks workgroup PDM (vault may be down or the name was entered incorrectly)".

So I click on the "About..." button to find this :

Do I need to fully uninstall and re-install solidworks and make the vault that way? I have the disk for 2014 and my subscription ran out about a week ago, so I have no idea how to re install 2015.

Are you sure the vault service is running?

  Is the reason why solidworks premium comes with workgroup is for use of the solidworks explorer, and to allow a computer with the vault licence key to work with solidworks? I read somewhere the solidworks explorer is connected with workgroup.

    No, you can use Explorer without using PDM. If you don't want to use PDM, just deselect it in both the options area of Explorer and the add-ins section of SolidWorks.
