Locating The PDM Version And License Type Installed

Problem

When working with SOLIDWORKS PDM, it is often necessary to identify the exact version and license type installed for troubleshooting, compatibility checks, or upgrade planning. This article will help with locating the PDM version and license type installed in the environment. 

Solution

  1. Open the SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration application
  2. Click on the question mark icon, as illustrated below

    Click the Question Mark Icon to find the Build Number

     

  3. The Build Number field displays the version in the format TT.S, where TT represents the major release number since 1992. For example, 33 indicates the 2025 version, 34 indicates the 2026 version, and so on. S represents the service pack. For example, 3 indicates SP3
  4. From the same screen, the installed client type can be determined, and the drop-down list can be used to select a different client license type, as illustrated below

    Select Client License Type
Note: Beginning with PDM 2019 SP0, the Client Version and Build Number follow the same numbering scheme as SOLIDWORKS.
