how to remove solidworks installation manager

On the Product Selection page, you can now add or remove whatever products you want to be installed on your SOLIDWORKS. Once you have changed your serial numbers if needed, click ‘Next’ and the installation manager will do a system check before landing on the ‘Product Selection’ section. To deactivate a license, simply open SolidWorks and go to the ‘help’ menu and select ‘deactivate license’. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are removing a serial number that requires activation, be sure to deactivate the serial number before removing/changing it via a Modify Installation. If you are simply removing a serial number from a section, you will need to delete the whole number before unchecking the section. On the serial number page, you can replace your previous serial number with a new one. On the welcome section of the Installation manager, choose the first option to ‘Modify’ the installation and then click ‘Next’ to continue to the serial numbers. Admin Images cannot be modified, so for any changes in installed products or serial numbers please contact your local IT to find out who deployed the image.

Note: If you do not see a Modify or Change option for your install, then you are likely using an Admin Image. This will launch the installation manager for SolidWorks. In Windows 7 (or if you are looking at the ‘classic’ programs and features window in Windows 10) you can simply right click and select “change”. In Windows 10, you will left click to expand your SolidWorks installation and then click ‘Modify’. In your programs and features page, scroll down until you find your SOLIDWORKS installation. You can access this from your control panel and going to ‘Uninstall a program’ (For Windows 10 you can right click the start menu and choose “Apps and Features” at the top). You start by navigating to your ‘Programs and Features’ in windows. In order to modify your installation, you will need admin privileges to your machine. The two primary examples are: When your serial number changes and when you need to install an additional product or add-in.

Modifying a SOLIDWORKS install is a procedure that is commonly used when certain changes are needed.
