    Beta and Pre-Release Programs


    Each release of SolidWorks is preceded by a beta program. Participating in beta programs gives you the opportunity to test the new release, identify any critical issues, and submit bugs for correction before the SP0 release.

    The 2011 beta program has changed a bit from previous years. There are more special competitions, more prizes to be awarded, and you'll have a chance to raise your visibility within the SolidWorks community.

    Our 2011 beta programs will be released in early July, 2010. Please log in to the Customer Portal to sign up today!

    • SolidWorks 2011 Beta Contests - We have added a few new and exciting competitions for 2011.  Come check them out!
    • SolidWorks 2011 Beta Prizes - There are many more prizes this year, which means more winners.  We've even designed a beta tee-shirt, which you could also win!
    • SolidWorks 2011 Beta Terms & Conditions - Please view the terms & conditions for entering our contests.

     

    Notes:  
      - The programs indicated are only open to customers with an active Subscription Service contract.
