When SolidWorks is starting up the splash screen says 'SolidWorks Standard 2009'. I have had various SolidWorks issues just of late and I thought it used to say 'SolidWorks Premium 2009'

My Licence is for Premium and it seems to be all there.

If you are using Premium, what does yours say?

I know Solidworks says Premium if it is installed first, and registered later. If you register with a Standard license it will still say Premium but you just won't have those add-ins available for you.

It being the other way around is a little weird though, but if everything is ok, I wouldn't worry to much.

It's just a splash screen mine flip-flops between Standard and Premium much like a politician. I have Premium so I just ignore it when it says Standard.

If you upgraded from standard to premium you do need to release the license then re-activate it to get the Premium License add-inns.

Thanks guys,

I was just confused when something I saw regularly suddenly changed. For no reason. Still, it all seems to be working so I'll just leave it alone!



 
Mine says Standard, though I've got Professional (or whatever it's called now). The VAR said I'm licensed for Professional, so as long as my add-ins work, it's safe to ignore the wrong splash screen nomenclature.

I installed 2010 yesterday and now I'm back to a 'Premium' splash screen. I will sleep better now......[thumbsup2]
