Install Solidworks Home Use License
Home Usage License Home Usage License bigbuck. To confirm we have a network install of SolidWorks at work. The Home Use Agreement is different then for a stand. Unfortunately he does not remember what he needs to do to get the Home Use License (HUL) to work since the first time around he was walked thru it over the phone by a support member from Solidworks Company. Office 97 Portable Download there. He would call again to get support, but our company just recently dropped the service subscription support to save money.
We (I) do use the HUL. It helps me out a lot when giving presentations, answering questions after hours, traveling to client locations and tending to the occasional fit of inspiration that I have in the middle of the night. It also saves the inconvenience of checking out a license.
I just keep it on my laptop, and I'm always ready to roll. Now if you're asking who should get the license that's another story. If there isn't anyone that clearly needs it more than anyone else, then I would suggest accepting bribes and personal favors. Let the bidding begin!
Dan RE: Home Usage License (Automotive). At the time of registration (see Article 9 below) you must inform us of the maximum number of potential users of the licenses you purchase. We recommend you also inform us of the names of all potential users so that we can notify them of upcoming updates and other pertinent information. If the Software is permanently installed on the hard disk or other storage device of a computer (other than a network server) and one person uses that computer more than 80% of the time it is in use, then that person may also use the Software on a portable or home computer while the original copy is not in use. You will keep accurate and up-to-date records of the numbers and locations of all copies of the Software, will supervise and control the use of the Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and will provide copies of such records to SolidWorks upon reasonable request. As admin of the system you should be able to notify SW that a home license user is no longer employed with you, and they should be able to de-activate the home license.

An installed version may not check the validity of its license, but when a license is transferred from one computer to another, the license has to be de-activated first. If SW is notified by the admin that the home license is no longer applicable for that user, that license can be de-activated by them. SolidWorks will still run on that computer, but it will have become an illegal version and will not be elligible for any uppdates. SW will have been informed who is running it. The license holders (the companys) obligations will have been met. It will then be up to SW to proceed further.
