This document is a step-by-step guide covering how to install SOLIDWORKS on a local machine.Before beginning the download and installation process, make sure the computer you are planning to install SOLIDWORKS onto meets the minimum system requirements which can be found at this link.You will need a reliable internet connection as well as the 24-digit serial number you received from GoEngineer. Open up your internet browser and go to (Figure 1). Here, GoEngineer provides installation media for the most current version of SOLIDWORKS as well as past versions back to 2012 (older versions available by request).
Click the DOWNLOAD button next to the version you want. This will take you to ShareFile where you will need to enter your information to begin the download. The downloads are large (8-12 GB) so it may take a while, depending on your internet speed. Product Selection page.
At the Summary page you will be prompted to read and accept the License Agreement from SOLIDWORKS. This box must be checked in order to install the software (Figure 8).
The Installation Location and Toolbox/Hole Wizard Options location can be changed.GoEngineer suggests changing the name of the installation to reflect the SOLIDWORKS version for future reference. In this case I have changed them to reflect that this is the 2018 version. Once this is done, click “Install Now” in the bottom-right corner.
This will initiate the installation.
