What is Term Licensing?

Term Licensing is for individuals and companies that want access to SOLIDWORKS best-in-class design solutions with lower upfront costs compared to traditional perpetual licensing.

With a term license you can use SOLIDWORKS products with a quarterly subscription. A term license gives SOLIDWORKS users access to a variety of SOLIDWORKS applications with the same full version as a perpetual license — but with a flexible and affordable approach that’s easy on a software budget and easy to manage.

Why Rent SOLIDWORKS?

SOLIDWORKS Term Licenses are ideal for companies that need to maximize their cash flow, this could include the following:

Licenses are required for short term projects or for the specific phase of a project where specific software such as simulation is needed to validate a design.
Licenses are to meet staffing requirements such as contract staff or intern that require SOLIDWORKS for a short time period.
A new division or project has been initiated and cash-flow is a concern.
A start-up/new business requires SOLIDWORKS software at the minimum cost to get started.
Companies that need technical support and upgrades with their SOLIDWORKS license (Subscription Service is included with a term license)

What is the difference between SOLIDWORKS Cloud, SOLIDWORKS Desktop with Cloud Services, 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Works?

There are a number of similarly named offers available surrounding SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE, and while there is overlap between them they are not the same thing.

To clear things up here is a brief explanation of the main offerings including SOLIDWORKS Cloud, SOLIDWORKS Desktop with SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services, 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Works.

SOLIDWORKS Cloud
SOLIDWORKS Cloud is a bundle of cloud-based modeling apps that allows users to access and use best in class CAD functionality and files from any device with an internet connection.

These apps provide many of the same design capabilities as SOLIDWORKS Desktop but without the need to install the software on their local devices. These apps will feel very familiar to SOLIDWORKS users but they have been developed from the ground up and are not the exact same as SOLIDWORKS Desktop.

The apps in the SOLIDWORKS Cloud offer make an ideal solution for users who need to access CAD tools on multiple devices or locations and those who do not want to maintain the software locally. These apps all run on the cloud based 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Learn more about SOLIDWORKS Cloud.

SOLIDWORKS Desktop (with SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services)
SOLIDWORKS Desktop is a standard installation of SOLIDWORKS software on a local device. It provides users with the full range of capabilities and features of SOLIDWORKS but requires the software to be installed and maintained locally.

SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services is a collection of tools that will be included with new SOLIDWORKS Subscriptions and term licenses.

They connect desktop SOLIDWORKS to the cloud based 3DEXPERIENCE platform and enable SOLIDWORKS users to easily share and markup designs, access CAD intelligent online storage and manage their design data effectively. In a nutshell, they provide a secure online hub for storage and collaboration.

SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services is best suited for traditional SOLIDWORKS users that want to take advantage of better design sharing and cloud data storage.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is a cloud-focused version of SOLIDWORKS that has a virtually identical set of capabilities as SOLIDWORKS Desktop but has a built in connection to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS launches from and saves files to the 3DEXPERIENCE but it still runs locally, this means that you still need a machine with the power to run SOLIDWORKS.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS software provides access to the same tools contained within SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services and can be bundled other cloud applications for flexible sub-divisional modelling and simulation.

Overall using 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS will be very similar to using desktop SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services, it's a great choice for companies looking to simplify license management and consolidate their tools in one place, providing a more consistent user experience.

Learn more about 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS

3DEXPERIENCE Works

3DEXPERIENCE Works refers to a wider portfolio of applications on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that are the most beneficial for typical teams that use SOLIDWORKS.

3DEXPERIENCE Works includes 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS alongside a number of cloud-based tools for simulation, manufacturing, data management and marketing.

All of these applications are seamlessly connected and make use of the same SOLIDWORKS CAD data, which enables the key stakeholders of every project to work smoothly together.

SOLIDWORKS Training Passport Benefits

Invest in your skills and learn the latest SOLIDWORKS best practices

Online or In-class

The training passport applies to our SOLIDWORKS public training so you can take a training course online or in a classroom near you. Check our schedule for upcoming courses and locations.

Unlimited training in a year!

With a training passport you can retake a course included with your passport as many times as you like over a 12 month period. Or simply get a refresh on skills you may have obtained in the past but haven't had a chance to use yet.

Certified training & courseware

Passport holders receive certified SOLIDWORKS training, a step-by-step training course manual, and a certificate for successful completion of the course.

"Think about taking just one second vs. 10 seconds, or one minute vs. 10 minutes. That’s 10 times better productivity. Multiply that by the number of people working on projects over a week, or over a year. Overall, we estimate user productivity has increased by up to 5 times when dealing with complex geometry. Imagine the impact on how our people feel about their work. Imagine the impact on our business."

Product Development Manager with Phil Mauer & Associates

"What I learned will make me more productive and make my company more competitive."
