SolidWorks Student Access Products
The new SolidWorks® Student Design Kit (SDK) for the 2011-2012 academic year is now available to students and educators including:
-
Students and educators at schools that meet certain requirements
-
Students and educators who have purchased selected textbooks and robotic kits that are provided with the SDK download offer card
-
Students who participate in design competitions where the SolidWorks SDK is offered
SolidWorks student products may only be used by students and educators on their own computers. Intended uses include completing homework assignments, student design projects, preparing course materials, learning more about SolidWorks, and other educational purposes.
This SolidWorks SDK offer provides a limited (non-renewable/non-extendable) license. After installation, the product will run for the stated period of time as specified in your download offer. This product will cease to function at the end of this period, or will terminate on November 30, 2012, whichever comes first.
Students may then purchase the new SolidWorks Student Edition (2011-2012) if you wish to continue using SolidWorks student software.
This product is fully compatible with data created using 2011-2012 academic year versions of the SolidWorks Education Edition, Student Edition, and Student Design Kits.
Please note:
After clicking the download link, you will be asked to download the SolidWorks Installation Manager (about 20 MB) on your computer first. Then please run this program which will guide you through the complete download and installation process
