Summary


Details

Users reported issues when running multiple concurrent sessions of Solid Edge on workstations. Previously, they could run an external file conversion on a second session while using the first session for other tasks. This functionality no longer works, causing workflow disruptions. 

Solution

Solid Edge does not support running multiple concurrent sessions on a single machine. This limitation is documented in the Solid Edge readme file. For optimal performance, only one session of Solid Edge should be run at a time.

Steps to Resolve:

  1. Review the Solid Edge readme file for detailed information about running concurrent sessions.
    1. Limit usage to a single session of Solid Edge on each workstation.
      1. If concurrent session functionality is critical, consider adjusting workflows or exploring alternative solutions, such as using separate machines for different tasks.

        Additional Information:

        • This limitation is a known and permanent restriction in Solid Edge.
