With the release of SOLIDWORKS Visualize in 2016, SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium subscription customers received a complimentary copy of Visualize Standard. In the 2017 release of SOLIDWORKS, Visualize has been integrated with the SOLIDWORKS Installation Media. As a result of this integration in the SOLIDWORKS install, a new serial number is needed to install Visualize 2017.

If Visualize Standard, or an upgrade to Visualize Professional, was purchased separately, then nothing changes and we use the same serial number used in Visualize 2016. For those using the complimentary license included with SOLIDWORKS Professional or Premium subscription, extra steps are needed. This blog post will give you the steps needed to obtain that serial number.

STEP 1: Browse to www.solidworks.com and select Login.
