... site licence, there is nothing 'they' can do about it. i'm specifically unsure how the solidworks end user agreement works, but, .... what used to happen with things like autocad and coral draw etc etc 10yrs ago is...our employees often installed say a free full or trial, cut-down/student versions the programs, then open up a file that caused them to access features only available in licenced versions - thus unlicensed usage started. they would then get emails claiming unauthorised usage for £1000's. we would simply either allow them to install the corporate version from our servers or give them the ... -

...so lets over view the actual situation here shall we.... you installed a piece of solidworks software on a personal PC because knowing the software would improve your chances of promotion within your employer because they use it and thats where you naturally want to go. UP the well known fleecers , we call them ambulance chasers here, contacted your employer as a scan showed a 'link' to them for a unlicensed installation. your employer gave them relevant information that sufficiently identified you as the culprit. the fleecers then contacted you you contacted them and to all intent confessed. ...

...Hello. We are a very small company (only two people). And We have 2 Solidworks legal licenses. But one of our computers came from another part of Europe with a version of Solidworks without a license. For some weeks we have used this version, finally we noticed the problem and activated the legal license that we have. The problem is that as indicated by other people in the forum they contacted us about the use of a fraudulent license. The contact was from the reseller and from CJCH. The most ironic thing is that, although we could have used the unregistered license for a few weeks, we have legal licenses. I do not know h... -

...st the primary defence is: “I am not the only user of this computer and I/my company does not use Solidworks” (your teenage kid installed it and was using it for school without you realising it wasn’t a trial version or something – solidworks DO tacitly encourage this ‘misuse’.) All IMO, take with pinch of salt... -
... I won't buy it. The main purpose of contacting you by email is to gather some clues about you. Solidworks application is a trojan that provide a lot of data to Dassault about your activities. They gather filenames and try to find the matching website where you are selling your designs/3d prints/CNC ... If you are naming your files or directories with your company name, they will try to find you. Now, even if I bought it, I've bocked all network traffics from this software (with Glasswire). It slows down my computer but it is the only way to not provide any data to Dassault... I think to switch to another CAD software like Adobe Inv... -

...Hi stunned_monkey, I'm aware of the SolidWorks package - and yes, it costs many $$$s. I'm interested to know how they have made a connection to yourself, was it: - Their software reporting usage via an IP address. The obvious defense here would be to claim open wifi - You uploaded a solidworks file to your website, and the file contained details of the license used. - Some other method? The strength of that connection would help construct a defense argument. Thanks... -

We hit the ground running within a couple of days But in short, as with others, you aren't their target. I sugget you provide the above feedback, but others advise simply ignoring them. I can't argue with that....

...I've just spoken to Solidworks in a muffled tone and using a fake alias, I had no idea how expensive it was.....£5,645!! That's a ridiculous sum of money for a small business to stump up. On top of that it's £1,145 a year to continue to have the pleasure of using their software!... -

...Just to respond to this (a little late in the day). Solidworks licences will usually be sold as a "per seat" arrangement. The company you work for will have paid for a set number of licences based on the number of computers running the software. It would be highly unlikely that that licence would cover you at home unless the package was on a works laptop.... -
