• Q. How do I upgrade to the latest version of the software?

Visit our download page to get the latest installer.

If you are using a standalone license and are current on maintenance, then the license should be picked up automatically.

If you are on a Network License, then you may also need to re-link the new version of SOLIDWORKS through the NLM. To do this, run the NLM on the client machine, navigate to File > Link to SolidWorks, and then choose the appropriate version of SOLIDWORKS. A "Linked Successful" message should appear.

If you have additional questions regarding upgrades, please contact our support team at support@npowersoftware.com.

  • Q. Is the maintenance subscription required?
