I did look at the links you suggested but I never received an invitation. What I did receive was a link from solidworks to instruction which sent me to SOLIDWORKS Community Download Instructions where I entered my contact information and checked I do have a serial number and then checked download.Then I opened the file on my computer and my pop up window displayed my unzip and I unzipped to my folder and opened it up an clicked on setup.exe and nothing happens. I might mention I tried this approach more times than I can remember with identical results.

I should mention the only info i received was from Cleverbridge which showed me my paid invoice and my Serial Number [SERIAL NUMBER REMOVED BY MODERATOR (don't post your S/N, please)]. The invoice showed where I had paid  \\\$101.76 which included tax and a \\\$5 discount.
