There are three versions of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD - Standard, Professional and Premium. Each version builds upon the cababilities of the one below, meaning that all versions have the powerful mechanical design functionalities you need.
SOLIDWORKS Manage combines the ease of use and familiar Windows Explorer interface of SOLIDWORKS PDM with advanced capabilities that allow teams to manage project timelines and resources, complex business processes, and advanced item management.
SOLIDWORKS CAM is a fully integrated, Knowledge Based technology that allows you to integrate design and manufacturing processes under one system to evaluate designs earlier in the process to avoid unexpected costs and delays in finishing products on time.
It should be noted that you can mix and match license models, so perhaps perpetual licensing is best for your sustained business requirements but when there will be an increase in output needed, rental licensing can meet a short term demand.
If your requirement is for your business then commercial licensing will be the license type which you will need. Join the 400,000+ organisations that use SOLIDWORKS as the tool of choice.
If you are starting a business or your company is less than 3 years old, then you may qualify for SOLIDWORKS licensing through the start-up scheme. Please get in touch for full details on the entry criteria, as well as for guidance on exactly how to apply.
Schools, colleges, universities and research facilities can buy SOLIDWORKS licensing at a more accessible cost and according to the size of the institution. Speak with us about training and additional support materials available for your team.
Please ask your institution if they provide student access as part of the SOLIDWORKS license type purchased. If not, students can buy a significantly discounted license online. Proof of eligibility may be required.

Standalone licensing is permitted for concurrent use only. The license can be manually transferred to a secondary machine a limited number of times. If you'd like more flexibility and to be able to share a license across your business, then Network Licensing will enable the package to float between users or machines.
No, all design data saved will still be yours and will remain where it was last saved. Bear in mind that you will need a CAD application to continue editing the files. eDrawings is a free viewer for read-only access to your data.
Many businesses who come to us already have experience with some form of CAD. Often, they have outgrown their current 3D CAD system and are looking for software that can provide robust, intuitive tools for the complete design and manufacturing process.
SOLIDWORKS is a desktop based application with the power to securely store, manage, revise and process data in the Cloud with the included Cloud Services. For more information on the complimentary service, see SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services.
SOLIDWORKS products are sold worldwide through a large network of certified value-added resellers (VARs). SOLIDWORKS resellers also provide additional services, product training, and ongoing support.
The first step for many SOLIDWORKS buyers is research. Many types of resources are available to help you make the right decision for your company. Examples include whitepapers, blog posts, eBooks, product matrices, and videos like the ones available in our resource center . Many people investigating new 3D CAD software find that attending an educational event is helpful . You can also check out how well your computer gear matches up with the SOLIDWORKS hardware requirements.
You may need additional capabilities beyond design, so you will want to visit the Guide to Buying SOLIDWORKS Simulation the Guide to Buying SOLIDWORKS Electrical, and the Guide to Buying SOLIDWORKS PDM.
Once you have confirmed for yourself that the tools will work in your environment, the next step will be either a proposal or SOLIDWORKS price quote that includes details of products to be purchased, all costs associated with the software, as well as any services recommended.
From there, the next step will follow the procurement process inside your organization, often meaning your company will issue a purchase order. Once there is confirmation of your intent to buy SOLIDWORKS software and you have arranged a payment method, we order the software on your behalf. It usually takes SOLIDWORKS about 3 business days to process your order.
After your order is completed, we provide you with your serial numbers as well as additional information about getting started. We will also begin scheduling any services or training that were purchased.
Even as the entry-level 3D CAD product, SOLIDWORKS Standard users benefit from the ease of use and improved productivity. Create parametric parts, assemblies, and production-level drawings. Take advantage of tools to generate complex surfaces, sheet metal flat patterns, and structural weldments.
SOLIDWORKS Professional builds upon the capabilities of the Standard product. When companies select this version they can take advantage of tools for even better productivity including the Design Checker, SOLIDWORKS Toolbox, costing, visualization, and much more.
As the flagship product, SOLIDWORKS Premium integrates 3D design, simulation, motion, product data management, advanced wire and pipe routing functionality, point cloud data import, and CAD productivity tools in a single, affordable easy to use package. Go from concept to virtual prototype faster than you ever thought possible with the desired quality using a single easy to use application.
SOLIDWORKS product licenses are offered in a tiered system of Standard, Professional, and Premium. As you move up to Professional and Premium levels, you gain additional capabilities as well as additional license and support costs. Contact Us to learn about the latest SOLIDWORKS promotions .

SOLIDWORKS term licenses offer a short-term commitment with the flexibility to match your workload and expenses. They are available to rent in increments of 3 months or 1 year. Term licenses offer a considerably lower upfront initial investment that is attractive to startups or freelancers as well as to people who want to buy SOLIDWORKS for personal use.
A perpetual license is by far the most popular option for SOLIDWORKS customers. A perpetual license, as the name implies, never expires and will run indefinitely. Perpetual licensing with subscription also offers the lowest total cost of ownership over the long term. Customers get peace of mind knowing that the data and intellectual property that they create will always be accessible and available.
SOLIDWORKS has no plans to retire or stop selling perpetual licenses. They understand that perpetual and term serve different needs, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach for licensing. This is very different from other vendors in the CAD industry like Autodesk and PTC that are eliminating perpetual licenses and are instead only offering term licenses that are more expensive in the long term.
