Transfer a License of SolidWorks to a New Computer

by Scott Slovik
Below are the steps and some screen shots on how to move a license and how to modify your existing SW serial number if necessary. It should only take about 5 minuntes to complete this task.
1. Launch SolidWorks on the current computer you want to change.
2. Go to the Help menu and transfer the SW activation on that machine back to the SolidWorks product activation server

.

3. After SolidWorks closes, go to the Control Panel, and select “Uninstall or Change a program.” (add/remove for Windows XP).

4. Select your SolidWorks installation, and pick “Change” if you are going to modify the SolidWorks serial number. Or “Uninstall” if you no longer want SolidWorks on that computer

5. The Installation Manager will come up with your current SolidWorks Serial number…

6. Delete your old serial number, type in the new serial number for SolidWorks you want on the computer, add serial number(s) for Simulation or Flow Simulation if purchased, and complete the installation.

7. Start SolidWorks, and reactivate with the new serial number.
