i finally have a sp for 2004 and installed it right away. the sp is cracked but my swx is not commissioned properly anymore. everything works fine and a lot of issues have been resolved. the only nag that bother me now is that solidworks shuts down whenever is save or update something. with a small part this is not an issue but with my 100meg+ assembly this is. anybody have a crack for sp3 (so, not for the service pack but for sw itself)? ivo
