OK, have been paying for updates for the past 10 years.

Being a small business owner/engineer, I have always had the need to utilize Solidworks at my office at the day and many times at home at night in order to complete projects.  I always was able to have both locations active as I am the only one using the software.  I can't use it in both location as I am one person and can only be physically one place at a time.

I know that as of last year, solidworks will not allow both locations to each have an active copy on my computer.  So, I have been 'deactivating' at my office before I leave and activating at home later that night.

So, tonight I need to get some work done.  I OWN SOLIDWORKS!  I am not able to activate it at home.  So, I thought maybe I forgot to deactivate at my office.  I drove down there and guess what....It is not activated.  So, I came back home to check again.  It will not reactivate.  And, it shows no active licenses.  I have restarted my computer a number of times now.  What a complete pain in the A**!  For an awesome piece of software, what a crappy activation method and policy.  Deeply disappointed and looking at online options.

Great software when I can use it
