License agreement

Can someone tell me what the Solidworks license agreement says if
anything about using the software on a machine at the office and one at
home?

Chris,

I don't know the exact wording, but it's been allowed since the beginning.
Don't know how they do it outside the US though, you need a dongle.

Regards

Mark

 

Take the dongle home with you!

Grant of License. SolidWorks grants to you a nonexclusive nontransferable
license to use the Software and the printed and/or electronic user
documentation (the "Documentation") accompanying the Software in accordance
with this Agreement. If you have paid the license fee for a single user
license, this Agreement permits you to use one copy of the Software on any
single computer, provided that the Software is in use on only one computer
at any time. If you have paid the license fees for multiple licenses of the
Software, then at any time you may have as many copies of the Software in
use as you have licenses. The Software is "in use" on a computer when it is
loaded into the temporary memory (i.e. RAM). If the potential number of
users of the Software exceeds the number of licenses you have purchased,
then you must have a reasonable mechanism or process in place to assure that
the number of computers on which the Software is running concurrently does
not exceed the number of licenses purchased. Except for COSMOS products,
license suites consisting of bundles of separate modules (such as SolidWorks
Office) cannot float separately from each other (for example, where there is
one SolidWorks Office license, Toolbox cannot be floated to one computer
while PhotoWorks is floated to a different computer). At the time of
registration (see Article 9 below) you must inform us of the maximum number
of potential users of the licenses you purchase. We recommend you also
inform us of the names of all potential users so that we can notify them of
upcoming updates and other pertinent information. If the Software is
permanently installed on the hard disk or other storage device of a computer
(other than a network server) and one person uses that computer more than
80% of the time it is in use, then that person may also use the Software on
a portable or home computer [not applicable to COSMOS products]. You will
keep accurate and up-to-date records of the numbers and locations of all
copies of the Software, will supervise and control the use of the Software
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and will provide copies of
such records to SolidWorks upon reasonable request.
