Version and Updates

See the release notes for the latest published changes and installer.

Use the Updates CommandManager group or open PDMPublisher > Settings > Support and Updates to display the installed version and check whether a newer release is available.

Support and Updates page showing installed and available versions

  • Installed version is the version loaded in the current SOLIDWORKS session.
  • Latest version is the release reported by the update service.
  • You are using the latest version means the installed version matches the available release.
  • A new version is available identifies the newer release.
  • Could not check for updates means the online version check could not be completed.

Select Check for updates to refresh the version information. An installed preview or newer build can have a higher version than the release currently reported by the update service; read both values together with the status message.

Download an Update

When an update is available, use the displayed download action to open the installer download in your browser.

Close SOLIDWORKS before running the installer. Save open documents first, and unblock the downloaded installer from its Windows file properties if required by your environment.

After the updater installs the release and restarts SOLIDWORKS, its Close button displays a 20-second countdown. Select the button to close the updater immediately, or leave it open and the updater closes automatically when the countdown reaches zero.

For installation guidance, see Install PDMPublisher for SOLIDWORKS.
