Dear Solid Edge Customer,

We are contacting you because you may be using Solid Edge Cloud-enabled licensing with Solid Edge. Solid Edge Cloud-enabled licensing will be phased out as follows:

• Solid Edge Cloud-enabled licensing will be discontinued for all older versions of Solid Edge (any version prior to Solid Edge 2024) beginning on March 31, 2025.
• Solid Edge Cloud-enabled licensing will still be available for Solid Edge 2024 and Solid Edge 2025 through calendar year 2025.
• ALL Solid Edge Cloud-enabled licensing will terminate on January 1, 2026.

‍

Please work with your Partner to explore the alternative options that best fit your needs, such as:

• If you are using Solid Edge 2023 or an older version of Solid Edge and would like to continue using Cloud-enabled licensing beyond March 31st, 2025, you will need to upgrade to Solid Edge 2024 or Solid Edge 2025.
• With Solid Edge 2025, you will also have the option of converting to Solid Edge X that supports Siemens cloud licensing which is far more flexible. Please check with your partner to learn more about Solid Edge X.
• Move to Solid Edge Floating licenses. Floating licenses will give you the option to remote VPN to the license server to check out a license or even borrow a license.
• Use the standard machine-based licensing. (node locked)

‍

Please note that there are no other changes to node-locked licenses. This applies to Solid Edge Cloud-enabled license(s) only.

Sincerely,

Designfusion
