Installing the SolidWorks Engineering Stimulus Package may make your previous evaluation version of SolidWorks inoperable. All files created with the evaluation software will still be available for use. Q: I already have the SolidWorks Student Design Kit. Can I continue to use my existing drawings/models with the SolidWorks Engineering Stimulus Package?A: The SolidWorks Engineering Stimulus Package can open files created with the SolidWorks Student Design Kit (SDK). The files will still contain the watermark that was embedded during use of the SDK. Q: What should I do if I purchase a commercial license of SolidWorks after having the SolidWorks Engineering Stimulus Package software installed on the same computer?A: Make sure you delete all of your templates and do not use any files that were created with the SolidWorks Engineering Stimulus Package. If these steps are not followed, you can potentially end up with watermarked part, assembly, and/or drawing files even when working with a full commercial license.
