All you need to know is: you are SolidScrewed
Ah yes…
Software company and their bad sense of naming, tell me more about it
Similar to SOLIDWORKS but not a replacement of SOLIDWORKWS
Then why do you put SOLIDWORKS in the naming eh?
To me it seem more and more like DS are trying to sell their product by tagging everything with SOLIDWORKS.
We have a new 3D modelling software on cloud!
Lets call it SOLIDWORKS even though it is not related to SOLIDWORKS at all!
Customer will go crazy for it! >
It’s regular SW running in an Amazon App Stream
Are you serious or was that sarcasm?
I believe serious.
Problem is it just keep loading and I can’t get load it yet.
Could be work firewall blocking something.
Would be nice to test if 3D mouse work and my 15 button mouse.
Did you clear your bookmarks and delete cache? maybe you’re using the wrong browser, you’ll need to change your default browser to use it. You’ll need to install a certified version of a certified browser.
Yeap, should have listen to my own advice.
Stop using SW.
I was referring only to the SW2022 Beta. You can download the app like normal, or you can test drive it online in a browser window (Amazon App Stream). I ran the online app mainly to get access to the What’s New guide to see if anything big has been added. Spoiler Alert: not really.
Alternatives aren’t all that appealing. Strange how close the English words appealing and appalling are when you spell them out.
..it’s going beyond the “Cloud”… the “Heliosphere”!
Well, I’m a doof! I thought you were talking about the cloud Solidworks, not a trial of the desktop version.
All the trademarkable words used for this stuff. It’s like those who don’t know what they’re talking about like to make up new words for old stuff to get others to join then in not knowing what they are talking about.
So they can sell customer the same thing over and over again.
“You want Solidworks? Buy this one.
Doesn’t do what you want? You need Solidworks Desktop.
Still no good? Solidworks Connect.
Might as well buy 3DX Solidworks also.”
We asked for a demo copy to sort out some issues with our online storage provider. They needed to be able to run the software in their environment to test what was going on. DSS gave us a link version of Solidworks running on Amazon. When we said that wouldn’t work and need to be able to install it locally they refused. One of the many reasons I will not give DSS another penny of my money, if at all possible.
Are you taking about 2022 beta? You can run it locally or thru there online hosted version (Desktop hosted on Amazon).
All SW installer will give 30 days trial. No serial number, login required.
Yes, the 30MB installer we download.
hMMMM…
David,
Converge would like to take a few minutes to let our valued SOLIDWORKS customers know about some important global changes coming down the pike from Dassault Systemes effective July 1st, 2023.
SOLIDWORKS ANNOUNCEMENT
If you follow the blog on https://link.edgepilot.com/s/9b4df517/05wugT9uv0_dI51NkSScGg?u=http://www.solidworks.com/, you may already be aware that starting July 1st, any new SOLIDWORKS CAD license will automatically include SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services for collaboration and data management. Please visit this page to explore how your business can benefit from the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
In addition, all new perpetual licenses purchased on or after July 1st, 2023, will require two years of subscription at the time of initial purchase.
These global changes are detailed in this blog post from Gian Paolo Bassi, Executive Vice President of 3DEXPERIENCE Works, and will apply to all new SOLIDWORKS license purchases. Please be assured that your existing licenses on active subscriptions that were purchased prior to July 1st, 2023, will not be impacted.
LAST CHANCE TO BUY THE “OLD WAY”
Change is good, and while Converge believes these changes offer a value-add to the existing product offering, we do understand that some of our customers may be interested in purchasing SOLIDWORKS under the current business rules prior to July 1st.
Let Converge help you figure out how the changes taking effect July 1 will affect your business - perhaps we can offset the impact with one of our current offers.
• 40% off SOLIDWORKS Pro or Premium with purchase of 2 yrs of subscription
• Buy SOLIDWORKS and get 25% off a multi-product purchase
• Buy SOLIDWORKS Term License and get 50% off a 2nd Term License
Head on over to our promotions page and act fast because these offers expire soon.
Of course, do not hesitate to respond back to me directly if you have questions regarding any part of these upcoming changes.
Comes down to the following.
GIVE US ALL THE MONEY NOW ! or GIVES US EVEN MORE MONEY LATER !
Either way you WILL pay for things that barely work and which hardly anyone even needs or wants.
Let’s be honest here, most of the ‘collaboration’ tools are a nifty idea but an idea that most small and medium sized companies have absolutely no need for. So unless you are working for some fortune 500 company you don’t have departments in a different city, state or country that need to give their input. To me it’s akin to forcing your clients to all buy a 4x4 while the vast majority of the customers just need something to commute from the suburb to the nearest city center.
Relying on Solidworks to keep your data safe and available 24/7 online without it causing issues in your design work is as far as I’m concerned believing in that shady guy in the pub that tries to sell you a bridge. I know of free to play games that face way more technical challenges (e.g. having a program that works on different platforms, hardware (PC’s as well as consoles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo), completely different OS’s and let’s all the users , no matter what platform, interact and play with each other) have a far better responds time to issues and having a far superior quality control then this supposedly professional program that every year finds new ways to siphon clients money to their bank account while offering AMAZING new features that at the best of times barely does what it’s supposed to do and even if it does… chances are it will be broken in the next release.
