1. Download the latest software release


Please head over to the EinScan downloads site in https://www.einscan.com/support/download/ and select SolidEdge from the dropdown list.

Make sure to download Solid Edge Floating license version.


When possible, please avoid using the installer contained in the provided USB, as its LocalLicenseServer application version might lead to issues when activating the license.


2. Install the software


Once you downloaded the latest software version available from our EinScan website, please unzip the document and install:

  • Solid_Edge_Shining3D.exe
  • LocalLicenseServerV1.0.0.1_64bit_200714


3. Activate the License


Run the LocalLicenseServer application and fill in all the fields to activate the license.



Once the application has been submitted, it should be verified within the next minutes.


✅ The 365 days countdown refers to the period of time of free-included software upgrades. 

✅ This is a life-time license. Therefore, the license will remain valid after countdown has reached 0 days.


4. Keep LocalLicenseServer running on the background and confirm the IP


Once the license has been activated, keep LocalLicenseServer running on the background and launch Solid Edge.


If LocalLicenseServer is not open, you will get a warning notification and Solid Edge will automatically close after 3 minutes.


Confirm the automatically detected IP from the message box.


5. Start using Solid Edge Shining 3D Edition


At this point you are all set to create your projects with Solid Edge.


Please keep in mind that LocalLicenseServer will need to run on the background every time you want to use Solid Edge.


6. Deactivate the license


Launch the LocalLicenseServer application and click on the Remove button on the bottom of the window.
