The SW2010-2013.Activator.GUI.SSQ operates by modifying or replacing system files associated with SolidWorks' licensing system to make the software think it has been legitimately activated. Here's how it is generally used: SW2010-2013.Activator.GUI.SSQ
: It injects unauthorized registry keys into the Windows Registry database to simulate a valid standalone or network license deployment.
The use of or similar activators comes with several risks and implications:
Using activators to bypass activation is a violation of the software's End User License Agreement (EULA) and is generally illegal. Tools like this are frequently flagged by security platforms
| Step | Action | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Disconnect from the Internet. Temporarily disable antivirus software and Windows Defender. | Prevents online license checks and accidental quarantine of the activator. | | 2. Installation | Run setup.exe from the SolidWorks 2013 installation media. Use the provided serial number (e.g., 0001 0001 0736 0361 JK3Q HDJ3 ). Perform a "Single Machine Installation" and choose your desired components and installation path. Wait for the installation to complete. | Ensure you have sufficient disk space (SolidWorks 2013 requires ~5.9 GB) and avoid installing to the system drive (C:) if possible. | | 3. Prepare Activator | Navigate to the _SolidSQUAD_ folder in your downloaded package. Copy SW2010-2013.Activator.GUI.SSQ.exe . | Some tutorials suggest pasting it directly into your SolidWorks installation directory. | | 4. Run Activator | Right-click SW2010-2013.Activator.GUI.SSQ.exe and select "Run as administrator". | This is a critical step to avoid permission errors. | | 5. Activate | On the "General" tab, ensure all SW2013 products are selected, then click "Activate!". Alternatively, if prompted simply to "Install," click that button and follow the prompts. | During an "Install" procedure, you will likely be presented with a series of dialog boxes. Continuously click "Yes" or "OK" until you see a "Finish" button. Do not click "Yes" on any prompt that asks to open a website. Finally, click "Finish". | | 6. Verification | The activator should display a message like "All done! Enjoy". Launch SolidWorks to confirm activation. | If you encounter a license error, verify the program is activated. You may have to repeat the activation process. |
SolidWorks relies on strict licensing systems (such as Flexnet/FLEXlm) to ensure users purchase valid licenses. The group Solid Squad developed a Graphical User Interface (GUI) utility to automate the process of modifying local software files and generating unauthorized license keys. Key actions performed by this activator typically included:
Many enterprise clients strictly prohibit the use of non-compliant tools in their supply chain contracts, risking immediate termination of business relationships. Safe and Legitimate Alternatives Risks and Security Warnings : Represents SolidSquad ,
refers to a historical, third-party software crack tool used to bypass the licensing system of Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks CAD software for versions 2010 through 2013. Created by a well-known warez group called "TeAM SolidSQUAD" (hence the "SSQ" suffix), this Graphical User Interface (GUI) utility automates the modification of system files, licenses, and registries to achieve local software activation without a legitimate commercial license.
