Hi there!
Same sheet for me
Here is my tips for avoiding any frustration with your illegal uses of Solidworks:
- don't add your company name in folder or Solidworks filename (this is how they find u)
- don't show your real company address on your website (this is how they fork u)
- use a firewall software (like Glasswire) on each computer and block any process coming from Solidworks (they are a lot of different program name) - this software spreads your datas to a lot of IP addresses in the world
c:\program files\solidworks corp\solidworks\sldworks.exe
c:\program files (x86)\common files\solidworks installation manager\backgrounddownloading\sldbgdwld.exe
(processes dependings software version)
- using a firewall software will slow down your Solidworks.
This is not firewall fault, this is Solidworks behavior as it will try to connect to a lot of different locations...
I recommend to jump to other competitors software like Autodesk Inventor (more cheaper btw)
Now my story:
- Got CJCH email warming me about illegal licencing activity
- I answered them i've got an US legal version, they forwarded me to mediator in Spain
- He told me i screwed up to buy my legal licence in US even if my main business is registered in NV as i use this current licencing version on my laptop in my commercial french address
- He wants to get in touch with me by phone but i prefer to keep all exchanges by transcript
- He reported me 2 Mac addresses : one is installed on my laptop, the second one, i don't know what is this computer, i've checked all and i can't figure out where it is...
My questions:
- Do you guys (stunned_monkey, sparty0_0 and others) have received a letter to pick up to post office from solicitor? Did they collect it?
- Did someone pay something to Dassault?
Thanks
