Thank you, Jeffery for your responses!! I appreciate the help. I'm trying to do the same thing through the SW User Group Network. As soon as I get any helpful responses, I'll post them to add to the knowledge base here.
And you are correct not to believe that there are 28 Floyd Hankers out there in the World. The name sounded pretty "crop dusty" to me, so I used it!! :)
Turns out you can get official support from:
https://www.solidworks.com/support/student-form
Can't guarantee that you'll get a quick reply - first-come-first-serve basis, but you'll certainly get a reply, and it will very likely be a good one.
Thanks for tracking down that link, Jeff. I've got it bookmarked for the future!!
I decided to wait for about a week figuring that would be the max time for Dassault/SolidWorks' servers to either delete or overwrite their Temp Folders. And Boom! I was In Like Flint!
Here's what I've learned after installing, uninstalling and reinstalling: it's best to install the SolidWorks SEK without the PCB add-in. (It's been better, but not a 100% without problems, adding in the PCB by going through either Control Panel>Programs and Features, or through Apps under Settings.)
For whatever reason, this version of SolidWorks doesn't come with an SQL Server to act as the data base for everything the PCB add-in needs. (Maybe that can be changed next time things are negotiated.) So, one will have to be downloaded. Don't use SQL Server 2019! Way too problematic for a lot of reasons!! The best success was with SQL Server 2014 and make sure you get Service Pack
3 with it as well. But, who knows how much longer this data base will be supported by Microsoft.
In any event, here are two links with some solid info:
This is for installing the Sql Server
https://www.javelin-tech.com/blog/20...-professional/
This is for configuring the Server
https://help.solidworks.com/2020/Eng...sql_server.htm
Again, I had a better outcome getting SolidWorks installed first without the PCB add-in. Also, everyone should make sure that SolidWorks can find its native data tables, like the Hole Wizard table for example, after the the SQL server is installed.
Most importantly for everyone also with an SSD harddrive on their computers, if you're wishing to experiment what the number of installs and uninstalls, you'll be cutting down the normal lifespan of the solid state drive by doing this. I did it on purpose knowing the cost of it, so you should as well if you go down this path.
Thanks again, Jeff. I'll add more if and when I get better answers. Thanks a bunch!!
I joined the EAA this year and have never installed Solidworks before.
I get the following error message when trying to install:
"Your serial number does not entitle you to SOLIDWORKS 2021..."
It sounds as if the provided serials are invalid. What can I do to fix this?
I have the same problem.Quote:

I think I mentioned this before - perhaps in another topic.
Unless I'm mistaken, the SW Student edition lags behind the commercial edition. A bit like buying bread - If you want today's bread, come tomorrow.
So use your serial number to install SW 2020 (instead of 2021).
Let us know how it goes.
Hi Jeffrey, thanks for your support.Quote:

Thanks Alain,
Useful information:) - especially so since I don't have any experience/tools/knowledge/authority on installation issues.
I guess the question now is what version is supported by the EAA issued serial number?
If it's only 2020, the next question is can you live with 2020?
Personally, I most certainly can;)
Best regards,
Jeffrey

I received a serial for SW2020 (edu 2020-2021), I installed it and everything was great.
When I saw that SW2021 (edu 2021-2022) was available, I requested another license (Sunday June 20 2021)
The serial I received is the same as last year, and doesn't work with SW2021 (edu 2021-2022)
Sure I can re-installed SW2020, but I like to be up to date. :cool:
Maybe Cory can look at this.

Alain.
Hello and thanks for the info. I am fine with SW 2020. It took a second to realize I needed to go back to https://www.solidworks.com/sw/education/SDL_form.html to be able to select the 2020 option. Thanks for your help!Quote:

Oddly, the page says "Please fill out the form to access 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers at a 50% discount".
Unfortunately I'm not the guy to speak to about this and I don't know who is:confused:
So I have had it installed for a year and a half now but for some reason when I try I get a System Error "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. I've attempted to modify and install the files I was missing but I keep getting that error. I then tried repair and I get "Internal Error: The Windows Installer for this product component did not run as exprected: INSTALL." It then tells me to contact technical support but I don't think we get tech support on the edu sooooo I'm kinda stuck here hoping someone has a clue. My version is good until Dec of this year.
Figured it out. Was a driver error. Updated latest windows and Nividia Driver. Dang Quadros are finicky.
I have not been able to find a link and instructions to download Solidworks. I sent an email to contact EAA and received this information: CSE: 4SX3J2, TKT: ocfRa0 and this link: http://www.eaa.org/solidworks which does not have links or instructions. Attachment 9029 I'm not sure how to proceed.

Once you fill out the form, you will be able to download a PDF with the instructions.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!

The hyperlinks in the pdf did not work for me. (There were no links)
does anyone have the download instructions for SW.
I purchased the license a month or so ago and deleted the email.
I want to load it on a laptop I just purchased.
Emails I have sent to Cory seem to to keep getting kicked back

You might have better luck sending a Private Message to David Leiting (see post #96, above, and click on his name). If that doesn't work, you might try calling the phone number that Cory listed in post #47, on page 2 of this thread; perhaps it will still ring in the correct EAA office.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe Cory is with EAA any longer. I have a vague memory of receiving an email or PM from him more than a year ago in which he told me that he was no longer an employee.
