The Excel Add-in and the SolidWorks Add-in share the same license. The license can be activated on one or multiple computers depending on the allowed number of activations.
miniPDM is currently in Beta testing and does not require a license

Hi
I have been reading a lot on your site, very good stuff. Thanks!
I have a trouble with the beta activation, when leaving the Key field blank and pressing activate I get the following errors:
– Application activated for: N/A (probably correct)
– Error 43: For assistance, please contact the support on SW.tips
