This may or may not carry an addition consultancy charge depending on whether the bespoke program carried its own support and subscription contract. Solid Solutions have also created bespoke add-ins/programs for many of our customers, there may be a need to have these reconfigured for a new release. Check compatibility of these with SOLIDWORKS 2022 as you may need to either wait, or obtain a new version/license file. Add-on products may extend beyond the SOLIDWORKS portfolio, and may be managed by a different supplier entirely as a 3rd party plug in. Due to this software being server based you may need to co-ordinate the upgrade with your IT department to ensure access and access rights. These products also need to be updated to be aligned with the SOLIDWORKS version and you may therefore need to back up the data and database, before installing the necessary server and client based programs. There are additional factors to consider if you use any of the add-on products to SOLIDWORKS i.e. This is available via the download by running the “Server Products” option on the first screen. If you are running a floating/network license, you also need to update the Network License Manager and reactivate so that the client machines can retrieve a license. Also consider if your company operates over multiple sites, as you would want to schedule the upgrade to happen in a way that has the entire team update at the same time. SOLIDWORKS 2022 files cannot be opened in a fully editable format in older versions so this could hinder any collaborative projects you have with external parties. You should also consider who you work with i.e. You should take care to backup any key data related to SOLIDWORKS, this includes the actual CAD files, templates and standard documentation, shared data such as SOLIDWORKS Toolbox, and any databases associated with programs such as PDM or SOLIDWORKS Electrical. We would certainly not suggest upgrading the software midway through a major project or with deadlines looming. As with any major software update you must consider the time to upgrade and plan accordingly.
