Cloud Services Included

Starting in July 2023, everyone’s trusted SOLIDWORKS will undergo some major changes. These changes are designed to enhance your experience and provide you with even more value. Here are some important highlights:

New Cloud Services: All new purchases of SOLIDWORKS Desktop CAD licenses, whether Perpetual, Term, Standalone, or Network, will now include Cloud Services as part of your subscription. This means you’ll have access to powerful cloud-based features and functionalities to boost your productivity. We’ll get into more detail about what’s included in the following sections.
Revised Subscriptions for Perpetual Licenses: To ensure uninterrupted access to our cutting-edge software, all new Perpetual licenses, including CAD, Simulation, PDM, and more, will require a minimum subscription commitment of two years. This ensures that you receive the latest updates and support for an extended period.
Options for Term Licenses: We want to offer you flexibility. While all licenses will include Cloud Services, we understand that not everyone may need them. Therefore, Term licenses for SOLIDWORKS Desktop CAD Standard will still be available without Cloud Services, giving you the choice that best suits your needs.

We’re dedicated to providing you with the best CAD experience possible, and Xpertly guiding you through these changes reflects our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
