Common questions about WorkTools.
Is the naming compatible with SOLIDWORKS PDM serial numbers?
Yes. WorkTools naming templates are designed to work alongside PDM serial numbers. For advanced, vault-wide numbering, see SerialForge in PDM+.
How is cloning different from Pack and Go?
Cloning copies the assembly with its references and applies your naming rules and target folder structure automatically, so you do not have to rename files one by one.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. SW+ runs free with every product for 15 days after installation; no credit card required. When the trial ends, enter your license key and continue where you left off.
Which SOLIDWORKS versions are supported?
SOLIDWORKS 2021 and every later release (64-bit, Windows 10/11). A single installer works with all supported versions.
How does licensing work? Do I need an internet connection?
Licenses are annual subscriptions per user (computer), including updates and technical support. After activating your key online once, the add-in works offline. When you change computers, you can remove the activation in the Customer Portal.
Do I need to reinstall to add products later?
No. SW+ is a single SOLIDWORKS add-in, and the products you buy appear as tabs based on your license. When you buy a new product, simply update your license.
