The new SOLIDWORKS Admin Portal (introduced with SOLIDWORKS 2018 release) provides a holistic view of everything related to your account. It puts SOLIDWORKS Admins in control and gives them access to a complete view of their users, assets, and services. While only available to select customers for now, we are planning on making this new tools available to all customers by mid-2018.

If you are the CAD Administrator of your company, you can access the SOLIDWORKS Admin Portal by logging into My.SolidWorks.com and selecting “Admin Portal” in the drop down menu. Keep in mind that only eligible customers will see this link for now.

Then, simply go to the product tab and search for “Visualize” products. All complimentary licenses of SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard will be listed and ready to use.
