As part of our SolidWorks Education Campus License we get access to student licenses for use on personal laptops and PCs. Because we have a limited number of licenses they can be used only by DMEM, MAE and other eligible students so we require you to accept an agreement that you will not pass on the license information nor install the software on more than one computer without authorisation from a member of staff. You will also have to agree not to use the software for research or commercial purposes.

Go here for further information and to request the license information and agree to the terms:    https://www.dmem.strath.ac.uk/goto/GetSolidWorks

You will need to log in with your University email and password to access the agreement form.

The current version available for download is SolidWorks 2023, sometimes also referred to as SolidWorks 2023-2024; the Education edition is released after the Commercial edition and the next version is not due until late spring/early summer.
