can i use 2 different swx licenses on the same pc?

[reggio]

Hello, for absurd and paradoxical reasons, we are thinking of updating to 2021 sp.max,
the costs between standard and professional are obvious and the only fundamental difference for us between the versions is the possibility of rendering and library materials.
to save you thought to switch to standard and to solve the "problem" render (1.5 times a year + for pleasure that need) to make it to blender, while for the libraries the choices go to download externally or draw from the current professional sw2016 and load on pdm,

from here the question whether it was possible to use simultaneously of 2 separate licenses, one for sw16prof and one for sw21stand on the same machine ...

What do you say? never tried?

we that have floating licenses on physical servers take the license we need to be standard, professional or premium. Obviously we have the same version aligned. I think you can make more versions but without going too far as release.
You do first to ask directly for assistance, I am there for this.

I use 2019 20 and 21 on the same machine. I am forced for different clients. the only thing is not to open them at once. then look at the bookcases. if you open a piece with the 2021 then you are screwed (e.g. a bearing)

I have always kept various versions alongside myself. the problem are different serials (suppose). In this mode I have never experienced anything and I can't give you straight if I don't tell you that you should try it.

Yes, several versions on the same pc with the same license (Serial number) it is possible, but I asked if it was possible to keep alive sw16professional with serial libraries 12345 [Bleep]* with sw21standard serial 6789 [Bleep]* as from 16 to 21 not aggiorno version but I would take a new license and use the old with bookcases (the sw16 would only be used to create new pinion and load it all on pdm available x

curiosity: but with 2021 worked without pdm?

no we will install the same pdm

no we will install the same pdm

but do you live in 2 pdm of different versions? is often a casino having a pdm and aligned version of solidworks.. .
if the pdm is too old than solidworks you can't work on it. value well.

I didn't think
...uhmm then sw16 should create part from library, save it in common folder and with the pdm21 import it .. could be an almost decent solution ...

Now just know if 2 licenses can live, not to keep an old pc alive with only sw16 libraries...
Is it true that with pdm r2w they give g r a t u i t a m e n t e libraries as they told me?
