[MAKERS Platform] Announcing 3DEXPERIENCE platform update on December 6th, 2023

Dear 3DEXPERIENCE MAKERS platform users,


Please be aware that we will be updating the 3DEXPERIENCE MAKERS platform to R2024x GA on Wednesday, December 6th, 2023*.


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.

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 December 20th) to perform the update. Starting on December 21st, the update will become mandatory in order to continue launching SOLIDWORKS Connected. Please install the update in order to continue using the native applications like 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!
