SW WGM Multiple Releases

SW WGM Multiple Releases

PDMLink 10.1 M010



When using the workgroup manager for SolidWorks, it only allows you to
have one version of SW registered at a time. We have a need to support
multiple versions in order to support multiple customers. Has anyone
else faced this? Solved it?



Approaches I'm thinking of;

- Batch files to either use command line or configuration file
swap prior to launching the WGM.

- Customizing the WGM to remove the check/lock that prevents
registering more than one.



Biggest concern I have, do I have to worry about corruption? Do I have
to figure out a way to force different workspaces and wt caches?



TIA, will post solution if found.

Batch file that uses entirely different set of caches should do it. You will need separate batch files for launching the WGM initially for setup as well.

Steve is correct. We use SW 2011 thru 2013. The tricky part is getting the users to use the correct batch file for the correct version of SW.
