[MAKERS Platform] Announcing 3DEXPERIENCE platform update on March 13th, 2024

Dear 3DEXPERIENCE MAKERS platform users,


Please be aware that we will be updating the 3DEXPERIENCE MAKERS platform to R2024x FD01 on Wednesday, March 13th, 2024*.

 

Meaning for You

During this scheduled maintenance period there will be a downtime on all services.

Make sure you have saved your documents on the cloud before the beginning of the operation.

 

What to expect after the update

To ensure that you can fully benefit from this new version in your daily activity, we encourage you to connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as soon as the update is complete. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform access URL will remain the same.

MAKERS platform: www.solidworks.com/maker-cloud

 

The first time you launch SOLIDWORKS Connected after the update, you will be prompted to update the 3DEXPERIENCE Launcher followed by SOLIDWORKS Connected. You will have two weeks (until March 27th) to perform the update. Starting on March 28th, the update will become mandatory in order to continue launching SOLIDWORKS Connected.**

Check out our update guide and the list of prerequisites. If you need assistance, please ask a question in this MAKERS | Support community. We will be happy to help!
