I am grappling with an upgrade to an nVidia Quadro M4000 video card. Seems the GTX 1070 software is not up to Solidworks support standards even with 8 gb. Is that correct. Secondly should a dedicated SSD be attached to install and utilize fasts thru-put with a SATA6 bus?

John,
After you do the install, run the tool SolidWorks Rx. That will give you an approximate size of the model your system should support without any problems. Be aware, though, that it is just an estimate.

Can't seem to install. First it said to download files manually so I did. Now during installation I get the message "
Some manual downloads could not be verified or extracted. They may need to be downloaded again. Use the built-in Downloader or download the remaining files manually: "
But it doesn't list any files to download. After several tries I deleted the downloaded files and downloaded them all again. Same result. Ideas????
What kind of internet connection do you have? The download installer is the way to go, but it will have issues with an unreliable connection. If you are trying to use WIFI but have a decent internet connection, consider connecting your computer to the router with an ethernet cable.
I installed Solidworks following the instructions, however the applications I received on m desktop was "Solidworks Composer" and "eDrawings". As far as I can tell, Solidworks Composer doesn't permit creating any drawings, only viewing drawings that have been previously created. Was "Composer" that application I was supposed to have received?
Thanks for any help here..
Reinstall and enter the Activation Key in the form when it displays on your screen. That method worked for another member, yesterday.
What happens if you dont receive the 24 digit activation code?
Using Gmail on Chrome.
Didn't see a solution for this. I installed using the serial number i received via email but during startup it keeps asking me to activate. I tried uninstalling and starting over. When installing it already has the same serial number input.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same issue. I have installed SW. I see nothing that allows me to create any drawings. Please advise.
