How To Enable Xpress Products in SOLIDWORKS

To enable SOLIDWORKS Xpress Products (SimulationXpress, FloXpress, DFMXpress, SustainabilityXpress, and DriveWorksXpress) in 2015 and newer releases, you will need to obtain a Product Code from the MySolidWorks website.

PLEASE NOTE:  The product codes are linked to your SOLIDWORKS Serial Number, so each user will need to perform the steps below for their own system.

Step 1:  First, you will need to have a SOLIDWORKS Customer Portal account created.  If  you haven’t already set up a SOLIDWORKS Customer Portal account, here is the process.

Your SOLIDWORKS serial number can be found by going to Help > About SOLIDWORKS.

Step 2:  Launch the Xpress tool, in this example we will try to launch DriveWorksXpress.  In SOLIDWORKS go to Tools > Xpress Products > DriveWorksXpress

Step 2 – Access an Xpress Product

Step 3:  In the window that comes up click on the link for My.solidworks.com/xpress

Step 3 – Access MySolidWorks

Step 4:  Log into the MySolidWorks website.
