coexistence 2018-2019

[re_solidworks]

Good morning, everyone. for design we use the 2016 version (for a customer) and 2018 for all others. I should now work on files converted to version 2019. I have installed the new version and should use it, at least for now, only for this project. I have always used multiple versions in parallel, I believe that for an external office it is indispensable and I have never detected problems except with 2017 that we only tried but never used. 2019 brings me back a 2017 issue that is to open files with 2019 in case of double-click opening to explore resources or pdm (ready2works). basically if I have an open solidworks session I would like the files launched by explore resources to open up with that and not with 2019 regardless. This problem is very dangerous, I could convert files to 2019 without wanting it and not be able to give my client the files in the correct version. I opened a ticket and see if they give me a solution, in the meantime I wanted to understand whether it is a frequent problem or if my installation failed correctly. if any of you have a solution. under some data:

versions of solidworks:
2016 sp 5.0 (installed with administrative image as independent major release)
2018 sp. 4.0 (installed with administrative image as independent major release)
2019 sp. 4.0 (installed with administrative image as independent major release)
os win 10 professional v1903

Hello and thank you!

hi, I have the same problem (2018-2019-2020) but I have no solution... So I join the doubt.

Thanks for the answer. I read but I did not find a solution that concerns multiple versions in parallel. I heard the assistance and should have put a piece on the readysolutions, today they should solve.

that is really an advantage to change version? lost time for installation, the solution of new problems due to the bugs that each version has, pc replacement, with 2018 and 2019 have removed 2 operating systems from the supported ones, even for the license server. Will the new functions compensate these times / costs?
