Problem

Does the Photoview 360 Render Client require network rendering?

Solution

Yes, the SOLIDWORKS license must be on an active subscription to access network rendering. No subscription check is run on the Network Render Client machines, but the subscription is checked on the Master computer before Network Rendering can be used. This information was taken from the SOLIDWORKS QA article QA00000116839.

Note: SOLIDWORKS 2023 SP5 is the last release of Photoview 360, as it has been retired in future releases (SOLIDWORKS 2024 SP0 or Newer).
