If licenses are going to be used outside of the company’s LAN, it may be necessary to establish a VPN connection, or some other way for the remote computers to connect to the server. Typically this means they need to be on the same LAN, and firewall settings may need to be adjusted to open up specific ports. Network licensing requires that the client PCs can ping the machine with SolidNetWork License server. This efficiency does come at a price: there is an initial setup fee for the conversion to network licensing, and the per-license costs are slightly higher when compared to standalone licenses. This makes for very efficient utilization of SOLIDWORKS licenses as you only need as many licenses as you have concurrent users. When a user closes SOLIDWORKS or unloads an add-in such as SOLIDWORKS Simulation, the license is automatically returned to the pool.

Any client PC that can ping the network license server will then be able to access a license of SOLIDWORKS, or associated products. It allows establishing a license server which hosts the SOLIDWORKS licenses. Network licensing is typically the best option for medium to large organizations.

There is no limit to the number of times a license can be transferred, but if you are planning on switching computers frequently, you may want to consider network licensing. This involves accessing the Help Menu and choosing to Deactivate Licenses on the PC currently hosting the license, and then Activating on the new PC. This means if you are planning to use SOLIDWORKS on two different computers (such as a work and home PC), you will need to go through the license transfer process each time you want to switch between them.

With standalone licenses, it is possible to install SOLIDWORKS on more than one PC with a single license, but SOLIDWORKS can only be activated on a single machine per license. With this licensing model, the SOLIDWORKS license is activated and tied to a particular workstation. Standalone, or machine licensing, is the default choice for many customers. Network licenses (float between many users and computers on a given network).
