If you are having issues with online licensing, this is what usually works for me.

(Copied from the soon to be extinct forum.)


Browse to ‘C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\SolidWorks\Credentials’.
Delete the 'ud.xml' file.


- Browse to location “C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet” and rename/delete all files starting with SW_D.

Darn it...I was hoping this would solve my problem...
Nope, our IT won't allow us to whitelist * sites at all. So, we can't whitelist *.solidworks.com and our online licensing doesn't work.

LOL IT lock out engineering software.
They can do other thing then whitelist.
If all they know is white and black list, you need new IT.
