Problem

This article goes over how to resolve the SOLIDWORKS Launch error "This limited life version of SolidWorks has expired". This error typically occurs when using a Beta or Prerelease version of SOLIDWORKS that has expired. This can happen if SOLIDWORKS has decided to end the Beta or Prerelease in preparation for an official release. These versions of SOLIDWORKS are meant for testing new features and not for production use.

Solution

The Beta or Prerelease version of SOLIDWORKS will need to be uninstalled and then an official release installed following the steps below:
