Here is 30min video about few enhancements:
Tab & Slot and multi edge flange trim, finally!!
And much more. This is a small snippet! 
Is it me, or are these videos getting shorter every release? 
Did the average attention span of people shrink that much?
Anyway, looking forward to playing with, whatâs the new name, âDesigncenter Solid Edge 2026â,
once the Community Edition is released (thatâs still a thing, right, it wasnât killed-off?).
Iâd say itâs more a question of product maturity. Innovation often reaches limits and take a certain time before exceeding these limits by developping new ideas and brainstorming on them.
Could some explain the naming scheme is it Solid edge X or Solid edge 2026?
They must trading marketing employees with Dassault, âDesigncenter Solid Edge 2026â naming is nearly as bad as âSOLIDWORKS Design Standard Augmentedâ.
Community/Student will be there, but may take a few weeks as it doesnât get packaged until after the commercial package is released.
Apparently both NX and Solid Edge now have âDesigncenterâ as a prefix to show that they are part of the same Design ecosystem.
Solid Edge X 2026 and Solid Edge 2026 are the same product but are just licensed and packaged differently.
The âXâ version is a named user and cloud licensed subscription, has the CoPilot help assistant, and I believe an automatic updater.
The non-âXâ version is licensed as floating concurrent or node locked, no CoPilot, and does not auto-update.
License levels between them are labeled differently but are basically the same.
Wait, so subscription floating license and paying for the cloud version is still optional?
Yes, and perpetual license is optional yet.
This interview with Dan lights few interesting things:
Yes, perfect. I have a note. Solid Edge X user has opportunity to use Teamcenter X Essentials (âfor freeâ) what is cloud based PDM solution.
Thatâs definitely a step up from Share and could be a significant advantage.
Solid Edge X is subscription only?
Yes, it is only subscription.
So much like the âSolidWorks Connectedâ subscription, not really free, just baked into the subscription pricing. Little cheaper than SolidWorks though ($2676 vs $2820)
Is solid edge 2026 subscription only?
No. Solid Edge X is subscription only and named user also. It requires a cloud login to activate.
Solid Edge can be licensed perpetually or by yearly lease (subscription), but when buying, sales folks will lead with and push the subscription lease as if perpetual doesnât exist. You have to ask for it. Either way, it can still be node locked or floating concurrent.
