Installed student version 2020-2021 on dell 7550 with T2000 video card. Install and software activation appeared to work fine. Activation window said everything was activated. Edrawing, composer and visualize open without any error.
Try to open solidworks and a window opens and says searching for licenses, runs for a few seconds and shuts down on windows screen and in task manager. No error windows.
The only things I can find that could be the problems, is the Nvidia T2000 video card is not certified for Solidworks 2020 but it is for 2021. Solidworks also recommends driver R450 and I think I have R460 running.
Is student version 2020-2021 really a 2021 version or just 2020 with a 2020-2021 name on it?
Hi Stephan,
Are you, by chance, attached to a docking station with this laptop? If you are disconnect and see if it opens up. If it opens you are probably running into this:
This is due to an Intel GPU driver that was released not too long ago. They have since released an update to that driver to fix the issue (27.20.100.9079 or later) that you may want to download and try here:
