How to enable SOLIDWORKS Simulation Network Licence

Users of SOLIDWORKS network license who have access to more than one type of Simulation license can use the SolidNetWork License Manager to select the required Simulation license type (e.g. SOLIDWORKS Simulation, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium).

The SolidNetWork License Manager can be accessed from Start > Programs > SOLIDWORKS <version> > SOLIDWORKS Tools or from the Help menu.

In the License Order tab, use the ‘Move Up’ and ‘Move Down’ buttons to place the Simulation license types in the order of preference.  This order is followed when a Simulation license is requested from the license pool.  Providing the license type that is first in the list is available, the Simulation modules available in SOLIDWORKS will correspond to that license type.
