Parallels Memory Settings For Solidworks On License Will NotHowever now when they try to run it in a VM via Parallels or VMWare Fusion they get an error message saying that the standalone license will not work in an virtual environment. I have since been told by our vendor that the standalone licenses will not work in a VM, only network licenses will. So with that, I have three questions on behalf of my students that have a Apple MBP. Parallels Memory Settings For Solidworks On Software Can TheyOne, is what I have said above about student edition licenses not working in VMs correct Two, when registering for their student edition software can they request a network license instead of a standalone license Three, if the answer to q1 is yes and the answer to q2 is no, then is the only option left to students wanting to run the student edition on their Mac to run it in Boot Camp or is there another option I am over looking Thanks.

This link shows the VMs (and specific versions of those VMs) that SOLIDWORKS allows for standalone or network licensing ( SOLIDWORKS Allowable Virtual Machines ). It may be that they need to change the version of Parallels being used. Boot Camp tends to have better performance with SOLIDWORKS for students willing to use that. This would not be blocked by the VM lockout they are seeing now. I dont believe there is a third option (other than set them up with floating network licenses and grant them access to the license server running the computer labs).

With every Campus License you will have access to the network. You can use the network license and then they can borrow a license. You wont be able to get Network licenses per student but they can link to the Network and use that. Parallels Memory Settings For Solidworks On Install With TheBut yes the best option will be to run Bootcamp and then install with the SEK Licenses Like Show 0 Likes 0 Actions Related Content Retrieving data.
