• Upgrade to a newer version of SolidWorks: If possible, we recommend upgrading to a newer version of SolidWorks, such as SolidWorks 2020 or later, which is designed to be compatible with Windows 11.
• Use the official SolidWorks 2016 SP3: Users who are stuck with SolidWorks 2016 should use the official SP3 update, which includes fixes for compatibility issues with Windows 11.
• Be cautious with third-party activators: While third-party activators may offer a solution, they may not be officially supported by Dassault Systèmes, and their use may void the software's warranty.

• Check if your existing license can be manually activated.
• Upgrade to a modern SolidWorks version.
• Use a Windows 10 VM.
• Choose a free, legal CAD tool.
