Solidworks Design
For over 30 years, SOLIDWORKS® has been the trusted industry standard in design and engineering. Intuitive 3D design and product development solutions from SOLIDWORKS help you conceptualize, create, validate, communicate, manage, and transform your innovate ideas into great product designs.
One Platform to Unite Your Team on the Cloud
3DEXPERIENCE is a platform designed to bring all your key stakeholders together in one place from ideation to ongoing development. Each user is licensed based on their role on the team. With that license, the team member can access every toolset they need to do their best work, managing all project assets on a cloud platform accessible by the rest of the team.

Licensing and Deployment Options
The same trusted 3D CAD solution with two ways to license, deploy, and connect to the cloud. SOLIDWORKS Design is available in your choice of two options: SOLIDWORKS Design, a single-user license with named-user access across multiple devices and an immediate connection to the cloud, and SOLIDWORKS Design with Cloud Services, a device-based license. machine-locked or network floating license, including the ability to activate cloud capabilities when you are ready. Both options include the same 3D CAD functions, capabilities, and user interface. The difference between the two is how they are purchased, deployed, and connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and cloud services.
SOLIDWORKS Design Single User License
- Single User, a cloud-based, named user license accessible on multiple devices.
- Immediate connection to cloud capabilities.
- Minimize IT overhead wiht a simplified local install deployed from the cloud.
- Stays up-to-date with each release.
- Quarterly and yearly licenses are available to purchase starting at $845/quarter or $2,820/year.
SOLIDWORKS Device License
- Device license, machine-locked, accessible by any user on a single device with a serial number.
- Activate your connection to cloud capabilities when you are ready.
- Locally-managed install or network-deployment.
- Quarterly, yearly, and perpetual licenses available to purchase starting at $2,820/year.
