Well it's out, and so far so good! As you may remember SP3 changed how we authorize our SolidWorks. Say goodbye to registration codes and hello to Activation! Let me tell you what to expect. You will install the service pack just like you're used to, and it will run the same as before. During the install SolidWorks will magically add some digits to your serial number 8 to be exact. When you launch your SolidWorks for the first time after the install it will ask you to activate SolidWorks, just follow the on screen info and you’re done.
If you’re running 2007 and 2006 on the same machine you will need to get your new serial number (use help about SolidWorks) and write it down. Insert the 2006 CD or DVD and do a Modify to your installation. When you are prompted for the serial number make sure to enter the new serial number from 2007, next time you start 2006 you will have to activate it just like 2007.
Just as a side note look for SP3.1 to be out very soon, from what I hear it address a few issues that were missed in SP3. As far a SP3 I have not had any problems with it and give it my thumbs up.
may i take SolidWorks Service Pack 3 - Update please
