What is a Named User License?

A named user license assigns software to a specific individual rather than a device or serial number. Named user licensing provides a consistent and personalized user experience accessible from any device by using a login. No matter where you log in, 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS looks and feels like your own. In addition, named user licensing enables you to save money with lower upfront IT costs, while simplifying software access, administration, and deployment.

Simplified software deployment
Lower IT overhead with built-in cloud data storage
Access SOLIDWORKS® 3D CAD on multiple devices
Immediate access to new software releases and upgrades
Flexibility to log in and securely access your software and data on multiple devices
