In reply to MF. I think that's a separate issue since you were able to install it!

Hi, Ive got the pirate bay copy with SP3, I followed these instructions and it opens up the intro window and the main window before crashing, saying
SldWorks has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. (I have the Solid works program open, but all I can do is click close program. Running Windows 7 pro.
Thanks in advance!

In reply to fixnflyr. Hi, I've never encountered that problem before so I don't know. You could always just delete the files and remove the registry keys. That *usually* does the trick.

Hi HP,
Sounds like you know a lot about Solidworks. I have loaded solidworks 2013 without disconnecting the internet and when I try to unstall it after the 30 day trial ran out I can’t get a clean unstall even when I go into regedit and manualy do a clean up. Any ideas how to get the licence registration file out of my machine so I can reload it.
Thanks
