- Once you have all of your components
of Solidworks PDM Professional or Standard
installed across your workstations
in your home server location,
it's always good to verify that you have
all the right versions.
Down the road if you do updates intermittently,
and don't update all of them in the same order,
and have slightly different versions,
you're going to have conflicts.
So, how do we check this?
This is my client machine that
I'm on right now.
I'm going to go to the administration tool,
go up to help, and just check
about Solidworks PDM Administration.
You'll notice that I've got the 2017 version,
and this is Service Pack 5, version B89,
or Build 89.
So, year, service pack, build number.
And you can see what the client type is,
and all of my licenses all have the same version.
Now, I'm going to go ahead and go
to my server location, as well,
and just verify the same thing there.
So, I'm just going to go down to the
admin tool again,
go to help,
go to about Solidworks,
and there you go, you can see the
client version, the build number,
and the client type.
So, if you're ever confused
about what kind of Solidworks PDM you have,
what version, what year,
what service pack, what build,
all of this information is found here,
it's pretty easy to get.
And if you are having trouble
on a specific machine or from the server,
make sure that all of your versions,
clients, and builds are the same across the board.
When you're done you can just click OK and exit.
