.... I'm in the US but I'm going to post here because it the single best forum threads going regarding Solidworks. There are currently two oiler thread regarding this topic, they are linked at the bottom of this post. I received emails and a letter for the law firm Ha**ess D***ey representing Solidworks. Same exact letter as Robby212 (Post #121) in the first thread. We have a solidworks license but it's used by my partner in another state. I installed solidworks w/ bad license to check some drawings before sending out quotes. It was literally installed for 2 weeks before I got the letter! I don't need it so I just un... -
...from CHCJ and got a slightly different story. Im a designer who uses CAD (specifically Solidworks) regularly. However up until March this year, this usage was wholly on an employed basis under full license from the companies who employed me within their office premises. I have just set up on my own (as in - less than. 6 weeks ago) and after a bit of searching bought a second hand Solidworks machine I found on Gumtree which was loaded with what the chap assured me was a legit copy of Solidworks 2017 and 2018. (It’s perfectly normal to run these versions concurrently). As well as some ancillary software that runs alo... -
...viously to receiving it either like in the other cases I read about. I do have an illegal copy solidworks on the computer which I got about 4 weeks ago to learn how to use it for my own personal use. We dont have any use for solidworks at work either. Like in the other cases I have read about on the forum the letters and emails state ip addresses sometimes or some sort of evidence which mine doesn't. Also it might be worth mentoning that the machine that solidworks is installed on is on a vpn all the time. Not going to lie, this has really put the fear of god into me. I am not sleeping much and is ... -

I have received the same letter om Friday from CJCH solicitors for Ansys infringement ..what i should do guys ?? -
...ve just received a letter from CJCH solicitors claiming my company has been using a cracked copy of Solidworks 2017. We have 3 paid for seat of Solidworks 2015 and have never used either a legal or cracked version of Solidworks 2017. CJCH have said they are going to send me the MAC addresses of the computers that have used the cracked version. After discussion with my design team one of them has imported a couple of model files that were created on a cracked version of SW2017, these models were sent to us from a factory that we use to manufacture product in China. Any advise from anyone please :... -
Ok a mate of mine has just had one of these letters all edging x y and z. Its very interesting that he doesn’t use nor has ever used the software yet they have by all accounts sent him a letter saying we have x amount of IP addresses and these Mac addresses, he is pretty computer savvy and checked them blocked all this Mac addresses that could have accessed the networks now could someone explain how with an IP address and a MAC address they could possibly try and pin this on him. -
If using VPN is it safe to assume they cant get location identifying IP and network details? -
...r a licence?! A little bit about my situation; I am a designer and have from time to time used Solidworks although it is not my default package hence the reason I couldn't afford to lump out the thousands they ask. I am a soletrader and only do this as part of my income, the rest of time is spent lecturing at a university. If pressured I would probably buy the basic license to get them off my back but I fear they will press for the full premium pack which is mega £££££. I certainly can't afford it at the moment. Any input would be greatly received, last night's sleep was restless to say the least.... -
...pany - but I'm unable to figure out how that works. Is it possible to see a history of CJCH or Solidworks cases? Does anyone know of any that have gone through? I assume in rare cases they may go after the larger cases.... -
...heft. To my mind this is massively flawed. First of all - I bought a machine upon which solidworks can be run. I didn't purchase solidworks itself. and then deleted said software from the machine. There WAS a very small crossover period where a license was running on the machine however I was under the impression it was Legit. Secondly - if you BUY a Porsche in good faith and it turns out to be stolen - fair enough you can't keep the porsche but the police can't come after you. You'd lose it and potentially have to buy another one. 2. The reseller stated specifically that the solicitors / Dassault will NOT release an...

...fectly genuine threat-o-gram from a firm of solicitors representing Dessault Systems, makers of the Solidworks CAD package. They’ve correctly identified that I’ve used their software without a licence, but erroneously connected it with my very small business operation for which I own a domain and sell a few bits and pieces online. I manage my website, email etc on the same PC that on which I have Solidworks installed. The two uses are wholly independent. I’ve seen the template letter on the CAB website and will be sending off a request for them to comply with Pre-action protocol and prove when I used it. ... -
...lect, p'haps fwding on less than 30% they 'collect', it also has the effect of occasionally winning solidworks a licence sign up to, that the fleecers get a cut of. as you have freelancers and homeworkers, it will be undoubtedly be one of those, regardless to running the software or not, upon installation it installs a call home to mommy TSR that runs on any device at start up. harvests the info it needs, then sends it off to solidworks. it also has access to the properties of any files created on the software too. your IT guy will be well vested in how to look for these things and i bet you find in their startup serv...

...re! Same sheet for me Here is my tips for avoiding any frustration with your illegal uses of Solidworks: - don't add your company name in folder or Solidworks filename (this is how they find u) - don't show your real company address on your website (this is how they fork u) - use a firewall software (like Glasswire) on each computer and block any process coming from Solidworks (they are a lot of different program name) - this software spreads your datas to a lot of IP addresses in the world c:\program files\solidworks corp\solidworks\sldworks.exe c:\program files (x86)\common files\solidworks installation mana... -
...Also just got one in the US. The letter. We represent Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corporation (“DSSW”) located in Waltham, Massachusetts. As you may know, DSSW provides world-leading 3D design software and solutions to more than 150,000 customers in a wide range of industries around the globe. DSSW is the publisher and owner of all right, title and interest in and to its proprietary suite of software known as SOLIDWORKS (the “Software”).

...ateful of any advice from the members and anyone who has had experiences of this especially through Solidworks. I received an email yesterday 1/8/18 from a Solicitor in Cardiff acting on behalf of Dessault systems/solidworks stating that "Our client has discovered that your company has been using SOLIDWORKS, without the necessary licenses, that is to say your usage has occurred without the consent of our client or any of its authorised resellers." They then chuck in a lovely little paragraph of Solicitor legal chat just to confuse and scare you I guess? "According to the applicable national legislation, this is an infringement...

...well Ive just found out that they do a "maker" version of solidworks at £10 a month , I would have been happy to pay that , being as I just use it for 3d printing, if only so I didnt have to learn another software. If they had just advised that,that would be the way to go, I would have, but no they have to threaten people with multi-thousands of pounds law suits. I dare not sign up for that because im worried it might give them a way of getting to me i.e payment method.... -

...ase its a little more complex! I don't just want them off my back, I NEED to have a working copy of solidworks to run my business. (I'd expected I'd have to go down the monthly license fee route and this entrepreneurship programme looked brilliant) But either way - I can't just ignore them and hope it goes away - I need to get the software up and running as fast as possible - and I want to do it legitimately which means talking to Dassault one way or another. But it appears these ambulance chasers are going to be ridiculously heavy handed. The version of SW that was on that machine had all the add-ins and additional ...

...any penalties are unlawful. deal if you must with solidworks directly. trust me they wont know a thing about your present use of it there is no evidence here CJCH do nor can do..anything only the owner of the software can enforce licensing and they are not even in the UK....
