    Has anyone heard anything regarding SW 2004 network licenses? I've heard
    that for some reason SW 2004 network licenses will NOT be backwards
    compatible.

    I'm in a larger size company with a fairly high number of SW users, most of
    which do not have admin rights. Therefore someone who does have admin
    rights needs to visit their machine to do the upgrade which can take some
    time. What this appears to mean is, once you start to upgrade people and
    switch over to the new license file, anyone still using SW 2003 (or older)
    will no longer be able to run. This could make upgrading large number of
    users difficult as essentially everyone needs to be upgraded at same
    instant. I realize there are programs out there to remotely push software
    upgrades over the network to users. Unfortunately where I work, we are not
    set up to use this process for large size programs like SolidWorks.

    Supposedly this will only happen for this upgrade. In future will be like
    in past where new license file will also work with older versions.

    Is anyone else aware of this?
