Webstore, Update a Solidworks license
I'm trying to update my Solidworks license but I get an error that the activation failed because the license has expired.
This can happen if the old license is still installed. To fix this issue, please do the following:
- From the start menu, type "regedit" in the search bar.
-
Select the root folder "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
-
Select the folder "SOFTWARE"
-
Select the folder "Solidworks"
-
Select the folder "Licenses"
-
Open the "Serial Numbers" folder
-
Double click "Solidworks"
-
Change the License number to the updated version.
