    Hi,

    I was wondering if it is possible to change the dongle an serial number of
    an solidworks installation without having to reinstall solidworks.

    The reason why I would like to do this, is because we hire out computer
    systems, and somtimes the dongles change (from solidworks standard to
    solidworks professional). I would same me lots of time if there was a way to
    do this without a complete reinstall.

    Thanks,

    Bas

    Yes, you just have to change the serial number that is written into
    registry, so run regedit.exe or regedt32.exe and browse to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\Security\

    ps. You may need reg.code when starting SW with new dongle/serial (and
    make a backup of your registry before doing anything :))
