# SolidWorks Installation Guide

> [!NOTE]
> **Want more software or newer SolidWorks versions?**
> Open an **Issue → Suggestion**, fill out the form, and let me know!

## Where to Download SolidWorks?
You can download the required files from:
- **[SolidWorks 2024](https://getintopc.com/softwares/3d-cad/solidworks-2024-free-download/)**
- **[SolidWorks 2023](https://getintopc.com/softwares/analysis/solidworks-2023-free-download/)**
- **[SolidWorks 2021](https://getintopc.com/softwares/3d-cad/solidworks-2021-free-download/)** (Tested for this guide)

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This guide is based on the 2021 version, so newer versions may have slight differences. If you face major issues, open an **Issue**!

### Important Requirements
- **Windows OS** (Mac/Linux not supported)
- **Microsoft Excel (Activated & Accessible)** – Required for SolidWorks to function

### Alternative Links
If the 2021 link fails, try this [archived link](https://web.archive.org/web/20210727190509/https://getintopc.com/softwares/3d-cad/solidworks-2021-free-download/). No guarantee it will work.

> [!TIP]
> **Direct Linking Issues?**
> If you encounter `ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID`, manually search:
> **[Google: SolidWorks Cracked GetIntoPC](https://www.google.com/search?q=solidworks+cracked+getintopc)**
> - Click the **first** result (must be `https://getintopc.com`)
> - Avoid phishing sites!

> **Hosting Suggestion Needed**
> I want to host the 16GB file myself to reduce malware risk, but I don’t have donations to fund it.
> **Know a free hosting solution?** Open an **Issue → New Suggestion** and share your ideas!

## Common Issues & Fixes

### **License Error (-8 544 0)**
- This is a Windows bug related to **[KB3072630](https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/ms15-074-vulnerability-in-windows-installer-service-could-allow-elevation-of-privilege-july-14-2015-f8098b21-9ab7-a0a6-bddb-a287351f4665)**
- **No proper fix exists** – Using the **2021 version** is recommended.
- This issue is **not caused by me** but by the software host.

### **FlexNet Server Failure (Invalid Hostname)**
FlexNet crashes if your hostname contains non-English characters (e.g., `ö`). To fix it:

1. Open **Command Prompt** as Administrator
2. Run:
```cmd
wmic computersystem where name="%computername%" call rename name="NewHostname"
```
3. Restart your system & FlexNet server.

### Missing DLL Errors
Sometimes a dll file can be missing, the fix for this issue is found if you search the dll name and download it from this website [dll-files](https://www.dll-files.com). Make sure to scan for malware!!
