Product Activation

Product activation is an anonymous, secure, and hassle-free process designed to deter unlicensed use of SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation software.

Product activation is used for commercial single-user (standalone) licensing for SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation products. 

Product activation has proven to offer the SolidWorks community various advantages:

• A secure, and hassle-free process that authenticates licensed users
• A consistent licensing process that works for both SolidWorks and COSMOS products
• Licensing that is consistent with from other leading software companies
• A deterrent to unauthorized use of SolidWorks products with a minimal effect on you, our loyal customer

• To register a product not under activation:
     a) Log into the SolidWorks Customer Portal at http://www.solidworks.com/customerportal.
     b) Register your product(s) under the Register My Products link in the My Information section.

• Activation customers still should register their products to have full access to all features within the Customer Portal
  (with an active Subscription Service contract).
