New SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services Announcement

[@innovpixels]

It's not "included" with all licenses. They keep saying that but it is an added annual cost ($324 per license). What they should be saying is "Cloud services are now available to add to any SolidWorks package"

[@MLCCADSystems]

Existing licenses have the option to upgrade and add the functionality or keep their current license pricing without these new features. All new SOLIDWORKS licenses have this additional functionality included.

@@MLCCADSystems I just got a quote to add another license of Professional and the quote has the mandatory 2 years of maintenance and 2 years of Cloud Services ($648). Am I being misled? 1 SOLIDWORKS Standard Subscription Service Renewal - 1 Year: $1,295.00 1 SOLIDWORKS CLOUD Services Initial - 1 Year: $324.00 1 SOLIDWORKS Professional License $5,765.00 1 SOLIDWORKS CLOUD Services Initial - 2 Years $648.00 1 SOLIDWORKS Professional Subscription Service Initial - 2 Years $2,990.00

All new standalone desktop licenses must include 2 years of maintenance that includes the CLOUD services, they are not misleading you. Also take a look at the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and Term options to see if those are a better fit for you as they can be purchased one year at a time but are not perpetual.
