  • I don’t know, I got my installation back in 2016. Tbh, I was looking for another installation, but all I got looks the same. I can signup on rutracker if that is solution, but is it? do you know?

    I don’t know is it allowed to talk about piracy here? :D Please warn me if its not.

    First of all, I own a SW2016 license and that’s why I’m trying to install the same version on another PC. I’m willing to switch version if needed, cant go back to dual boot windows anymore :D Some people obviously successfully masked virtualization. There are examples, but I couldn’t figure out myself:

    example 1: For Windows VirtualBox virtual machine use “hidevm.bat”

    example 2: SolidWorks_Spoof.sh

    example 3: link

    I was hoping I just need to modify my virtualbox on linux, but seems like its much more complex. I’m still reading and doing my best, but I’m not even sure are guides made for host OS or guest OS












  • I was on the same boat 15 years ago. Still waiting solidowrks replacement on linux haha. All open source or free CAD is okayish, but they cant replace proper software like solidworks. Inventor, catia, proe, they are all decent, but solidworks became kinda industry standar, so better stick with it since you already have some experience (its easy to switch between them). Compatibility will stop you from using any other if you need to share files (not step or stl) with someone. Even different versions of SW (every few years) are not backward compatible. Solidworks is almost the only reason why I still have windows
