Downloading the Full Installation File Set for SOLIDWORKS
Downloading the entire installation file set can be quite handy, most notably when you would like to install SOLIDWORKS on a different computer. This would mean you would only need to download the installation files once and re-use it at a later date, rather than having to re-download it again.
NOTE: This is only available for new customers or customers with a current/active subscription to SOLIDWORKS.
The following steps outline how to download the full SOLIDWORKS installation file set via the Customer Portal. Click here to access the Customer Portal.
1. Sign into the Customer Portal with your SOLIDWORKS ID OR sign up to the customer portal and follow all prompts to register the serial number to your email
NOTE: If any account details are incorrect, you can contact your Account Manager to have this resolved.
In the meantime complete the sign-up process and corrections can be made afterwards. This will prevent padlocks on your portal so you can continue with the steps below.
2. After logging-in or successfully signing up, go to the DOWNLOAD group and select the hyperlink Downloads and Updates (SEE image below):
3. Then choose the year release (see RED box) and Service Pack (see BLUE box) you would like to install:
NOTE: The Product list and Service Pack‘s will be updated throughout the life-cycle of the chosen SOLIDWORKS version
4. Follow the prompts and download the initial setup file to your preferred folder.
5. Run the setup file to launch the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager.

10. Wait for the download to complete.
From there, you will be able to launch the installation from the setup.exe that from the folder that was just downloaded.
