Work From Home During COVID-19 With SOLIDWORKS Temporary Licenses

Table of Contents


At Hawk Ridge Systems, in partnership with SOLIDWORKS, weโ€™re looking to do whatever we can to minimize the inevitable disruption in this very difficult time, as many of us need to work from home due to the COVID-19/Coronavirus outbreak.

We recently shared a comprehensive guide for Working From Home, where we described the available tools and techniques available within SOLIDWORKS and its licensing scheme to allow you to keep using the software remotely.

However, we realize those schemes wonโ€™t work for everyone. Many of our customers arenโ€™t able to provide VPN access to company networks due to security reasons, or donโ€™t have that IT infrastructure in place. Or you may not have a laptop computer or access to the company network to borrow a license.

In response, SOLIDWORKS is providing access to 30-day temporary standalone licenses for qualifying subscription service customers who are otherwise unable to use their companyโ€™s SOLIDWORKS software.

If you need assistance with this, or just want to discuss your situation in general, please contact us or reach out to our support team by email or on our web/chat service. You can also reach out by phone at 1.877.266.4469 and weโ€™ll do our best to help you out and get you back up and running.
