Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about updating your SOLIDWORKS licence.
Yes. Dassault Systèmes caps back-maintenance billing at a maximum of 36 months, even if your licence has been inactive for longer. Beyond that, you pay nothing more.
The amounts shown are indicative and expressed in Canadian dollars excluding taxes. They can be adjusted based on your situation (number of licences, type of switch, negotiated terms). We confirm the final price when sending the official quote.
The 3DEX offer includes: your SolidWorks licence (Standard, Professional or Premium), access to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for cloud storage and file sharing, and the PDM Cloud vault for automatic versioning and multi-site collaboration.
Ideally before the expiry date of your subscription, to avoid back-maintenance charges. If you have already passed that date, the calculator shows you the cost of the upgrade based on the number of months elapsed.
Yes, it’s actually the right time. Switching to a higher version (upgrade) can be combined with the licence update. Ask us for a comparative simulation including this tier change.
A standard update resets the maintenance clock on your existing SolidWorks licence (local workstation). Switching to 3DEXPERIENCE is a model change: you keep SolidWorks, but add the cloud platform and PDM Cloud, often more advantageous financially after several years of inactivity.
