License

Here you can manage the license settings for #TASK and SOLIDWORKS.

SharpTask license

Use the deactivate button to transfer your #TASK license to another computer. This functionality is limited to a fixed number of operations, as indicated by the 'remaining' count.

You can upgrade your #TASK license by entering a purchased serial number into the token field and press the upgrade button. To purchase a license please see https://centralinnovation.com/solidworks/extensions/task-v2/

SOLIDWORKS license

#TASK allows you to manage your SOLIDWORKS license. You can transfer your license to another machine. For example, you can deactivate your license on your office workstation and activate it on another machine when working from home.

To use this functionality you must:

• Enter your SOLIDWORKS path into the installation path textbox, E.g. "C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS".
• If you have multiple SOLIDWORKS versions installed, please use the installation path of the latest SOLIDWORKSversion. Higher version licensing takes precedence over the lower version.
• Enter an email address associated with your SOLIDWORKS license.

You can configure #TASK to automatically deactivate/transfer your SOLIDWORKS license when you shutdown SOLIDWORKS.

NOTE:

• SOLIDWORKS license activation/deactivation can be performed a limited number of times, please see your SOLIDWORKS license agreement for more information.
• Activate/deactivate functionality is only available for the standalone licensing.
• If you have multiple SOLIDWORKS versions installed, please use the installation path of the latest SOLIDWORKSversion. Higher version licensing takes precedence over the lower version.

• “Automatically deactivate license after closing SOLIDWORKS” will work only if #TASK is running.

• To avoid unintentionally affecting your transfer count, consider disabling the option to “Automatically deactivate license after closing SOLIDWORKS” or set the "Always ask me before deactivating the license" if you encounter multiple inconsistencies that result in SOLIDWORKS crashing or closing abnormally.
