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.
