We are considering a switch from SolidEdge to Solidworks and noted the service packs that are generated througout a bversion year. If we buy in later in the year can we justinstall the latest update or do we need to install them sequentially as they were released ?
Service Pack Question ?

In recent years, all SolidWorks service packages have been standalone upgrades to the current install. There's no need to re-install, or install a whole series of upgrades at once.

Thanks.
Whenever you buy SW you will generally get the latest version on the disk. If you purchase the subscription service you have nothing to worry about.
IMHO you actually want to wait till at least SP 3 or later when purchasing SW new due to the general trend for software to be not quite ready for the big time on the first release. I would suspect this is true of SE, Inventor and anything else also.

I had watched a friend do a SP and I recall it being named 0.0 - 2.2 and another recently 2.2 - 3.0 which prompted my question. I presume the latter is OK to get to the 3.0 SP ?
You just tell it that you are starting with SP0 and it will give you the 0-3 update.
