After Service Pack Upgrade

You will also need to update the Solidworks addin and convert tool. This is from the knowledge base, but here are the steps:

If using an old version, upgrade the existing task add-in in the vault:
1. Open administration tool on an upgraded client log in as administrator
2. File > open > browse to c:\program files\solidworks enterprise pdm\default data\
3. Load the "Convert_GB.cex" file
4. Drag-and-drop SWTaskAddIn  to the add-ins node (not the convert task).  Select Yes to update the existing add-in. (see attached UpdateTaskAddin.jpg)
5. Verify via the task host configuration that the updated add-in is loaded
6. On clients that act as task host it is recommended to exit Enterprise and log in again to the view to ensure the updated add-in is loaded.

Once the add-in is upgraded you may need to update the actual task script as well. Refer to KB solution S-057908 for more details.

Note that this also applies to other add-ins in an upgraded vault, such as Dispatch. Those can be updated using the add-in node.



This is an easy task to do, don't sweat it!
