( Note : You will need Windows admin privileges when installing the software.) Steps to download ONLY the installation manager In either situation, begin by logging into the server where the SolidNetWork License Manager is going to be installed. If we are ONLY installing the SolidNetWork License Manager, then downloading the installation manager directly from SOLIDWORKS will be faster. This dataset can then be copied to each system for install, eliminating the need to re-download. If you plan to upgrade/install client systems after installing the SNL, it is recommended to download the full dataset. It is helpful to determine if the full SOLIDWORKS dataset will be required or only what is required to install the SolidNetWork License Manager (SNL).
