Temporary SOLIDWORKS Certification Vouchers Procedure

Article by Heather McHale on Jun 21, 2023

In the past, there has been a very streamlined process to gain access to SOLIDWORKS Certification Vouchers. With the transition to DSxClient for user management and account access, a temporary process has been implemented.

Virtual Tester Account

In order to obtain a certification voucher, your 3DPassport account must be under Subscription Services, and you must have a Virtual Tester Account.  

For a video walkthrough, visit the the "How Do I create a Virtual Tester Account?" section here.

Request Vouchers

Email the Certification Center at certification@solidworks.com requestion your free vouchers. Include the following information in your email:

  • Your Virtual Tester account email
