(Academia, Makers, and Student tenants are excluded from this initial rollout and will be evaluated separately.)

All allocated tokens are visible to administrators in the Members Control Center on the 3DEXPERIENCEplatform. Admins can track licenses and remaining token balances at the tenant level.

For questions about monitoring and consumption, your organization's tenant admin is the first point of contact — they have full visibility in the Members Control Center and can track token usage across your team. For purchasing, billing or account questions, contact your SOLIDWORKS Reseller Partner. You can share questions and feedback about tokens, skills, and more directly in the SOLIDWORKS application within LEO and AURA through the feedback button.

No. AI assists with automating repetitive tasks and revealing knowledge, but engineers remain responsible for design intent, validation, and decision making.

No, AI is not set to replace engineers. Instead, it is a force multiplier acting as your powerful design assistant. AI handles time-consuming jobs, like drawings and assembly structure. This frees up engineers to focus on higher-level problem-solving, system integration and innovation. Your expertise in mechanical engineering and critical judgment remain essential.
