What Version of SOLIDWORKS Is the Free Trial?

Do I Need to Download or Install Anything to Use the Free Trial?
As we mentioned before, the SOLIDWORKS free trial has minimal commitment, including installation requirements. All you need is an HTML5 compatible web browser and you can access the free trial in an online trial environment that you can connect to an online storage account like Dropbox or Google Drive.
