A licensing error occurring when the SolidWorks installation manager or the application cannot verify the license file, leading to the message "Could not obtain a license for SolidWorks" or a specific "Error 6" code.
Reboot the machine after removing and reinstalling the license service to clear cached settings. To give you the best advice, let me know: Which version of SolidWorks are you installing?
I am currently setting up the license server using the SolidSquad (SSQ) method. I have followed the installation instructions regarding the install_license.bat file and setting the SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable.
The most common reason for Error 6 is that the local license server service has stopped running. This often happens after a Windows update, a system crash, or if an antivirus program flagged the emulator. Press Win + R , type services.msc , and hit Enter.
