If, for any reason, a problem occurs with this software installation, please send an email with screen shots of the error to studentsupport@solidworks.com
To switch from the Olin Networked license to the student standalone license:
- Open Control Panel, and then
- Open Programs and Features.
- Find SolidWorks in the list, and
- Right-click to choose Modify.
- This will bring up the installation manager, where you should have the option to modify the individual installation.
- At the serial screen, replace the serial with the new SEK serial number. Also, at the Products to Install screen, make sure all desired products have their requisite check-boxes checked.
- Proceed through the rest of the install, and that installation should no longer require network communication to the server in order to use the SolidWorks license.
