Buy SolidWorks in India the right way: the licence, the workstation, and your design data, in one quote
Buy SolidWorks in India and you are not just buying a CAD seat. You are buying renewals, the machine it runs on, and the files that hold your R&D. Most quotes price one and ignore the other two. We price all three, and send the quote in 8 working hours.

The cheapest SolidWorks quote usually costs you the most
A reseller emails you a licence price. You sign. Then the licence lands on a thin laptop bought for email, and every assembly rebuild makes your engineer wait. Then renewal year arrives with a number nobody warned you about. Then someone leaves with a USB stick full of design files, and there is no record of what walked out.
None of that shows up in the line item you compared on price. All of it shows up in your year. Buying SolidWorks well means planning for the licence, the hardware, the renewal, and the design data together, not one at a time.
What it really takes to buy SolidWorks in India
There is no single sticker price, and any reseller who quotes one before asking questions is guessing. Five things move the number, and a good buy gets all five right.
- The edition. Standard covers core 3D design. Professional adds file management and design checking. Premium adds simulation and routing. Pay for the tier your work needs, not the one with the longest feature list.
- The licence model. Most SolidWorks today is an annual term subscription, not a one-time perpetual buy. Named-user, standalone and network licences price differently, and a team that shares seats across shifts often runs on fewer network licences than headcount.
- Desktop or cloud. 3DEXPERIENCE Works bundles data management you would otherwise buy and run separately, so the licence line looks higher while the total can land lower.
- The workstation. A licence is only as fast as the machine under it. A certified GPU, enough RAM and a fast CPU decide whether your engineers work or wait.
- The data plan. Where files live, who can copy them, and how they are backed up. Skipped at purchase, paid for later.
We do not publish a price list because an honest SolidWorks quote depends on these answers. You can read the official product details on the Dassault Systemes SolidWorks site. When you want the India number, send us the five answers above and we send a clear, itemised quote inside 8 working hours.
Desktop SolidWorks or 3DEXPERIENCE cloud
Both run the same modeling engine. The difference is where your data lives and how your team connects. Here is the honest split.
| What matters | Desktop SolidWorks | 3DEXPERIENCE Works (cloud) |
|---|---|---|
| Where files live | On the workstation or a local server | On the Dassault cloud platform |
| Data management | Needs a separate PDM setup | Built in, version control included |
| Remote or multi-site teams | Harder, needs VPN and file shares | Designed for it, browser access |
| Upfront IT effort | Lower to start | More setup, less to maintain later |
| Best for | Single-site teams with strong local IT | Growing teams, multiple sites, hybrid work |
Not sure which one? Tell us how many engineers, how many sites, and whether anyone works from home. That answer usually decides it in five minutes.
What you get when Sirius Star handles your SolidWorks buy
We are not a Dassault reseller badge on a slide. We are the team that makes the licence actually work in your office, on the right hardware, with your files protected.
We map team size, edition and licence model so you do not over-buy seats or pay for simulation you will not open.
Licence, hardware, deployment and data protection broken out as separate lines. You decide what to keep. No card, no demo call to get the number.
We spec and ship Dell Precision or Lenovo ThinkStation machines matched to your edition and assembly sizes, so the licence is never the bottleneck.
Install, licence server or cloud tenant setup, and migration of your existing files so day one is a working day.
Controls so CAD files do not leave on USB, email or upload without permission, with a record of who touched what.
WhatsApp +91 91375 93228 or care@siriusstar.in. Same point of contact from first quote to fifth-year renewal.
Who we set up SolidWorks for
Part design, assemblies and shop-floor drawings. Premium simulation where you need to test before you cut metal.
Tight tolerances, frequent design changes, OEM data exchange. Cloud data management keeps versions straight across vendors.
Small teams that grow fast and work remote. 3DEXPERIENCE cloud scales seats up and down without a server in the office.
Routing, schematics and large assemblies that punish weak hardware. We spec the workstation to match.
The workstation decides whether SolidWorks feels fast
An engineer who waits ten seconds for every rebuild loses an hour a day. Over a year that is weeks of paid time gone. SolidWorks rewards a certified GPU, plenty of RAM and a fast single-core CPU, and it punishes a thin-and-light laptop. You can check Dassault's certified hardware list on the SolidWorks system requirements page, and the certified professional GPUs on the NVIDIA RTX professional range.
I have seen a five-seat team double its output without buying a single extra licence, just by moving off tired laptops onto the right machine. We supply and configure Dell Precision and Lenovo ThinkStation workstations matched to your edition and assembly sizes, the same Dell Precision workstation line certified for professional CAD. Buying 50 or more machines for a design floor? Ask about Device-as-a-Service so the hardware is an operating cost with refresh built in, not a capital hit. Browse the full range on our IT hardware hub.
Your design files are the asset, so protect them
A SolidWorks model is years of R&D in one file. When an engineer leaves with a USB stick, or a laptop is lost, that file walks out too. Cloud data management helps, but you still need control over who copies, mails or uploads your designs.
That is where our data protection work fits. Secure Data Guard stops CAD files leaving on USB, email or upload without permission, and gives you a record of every move. If you handle customer or employee data alongside designs, the same controls support your DPDP readiness under India's data protection law. Most clients start with licences and hardware, then add protection once the team is running. We can sequence it that way for you.
How SolidWorks pricing works in India
There is a list price, but it is rarely the number you pay. Your real cost depends on edition (Standard, Professional, Premium), term length, licence model, whether you go desktop or 3DEXPERIENCE cloud, and the workstation underneath. That makes it a real-quote conversation, not a list-price one. Send us your team size, what you design, and how many sites you work across, and you have a written, itemised quote inside 8 working hours. No card, no discovery call.
How a SolidWorks engagement with us runs
You send team size, what you design, and your sites. We send a written quote in 8 working hours, licence, hardware, deployment and data protection as separate lines.
Licence procurement, workstation supply, install, licence server or cloud tenant setup, and migration of your existing files.
Renewal-date tracking before it lapses, upgrade planning, and design-data backup and access control. The boring work that keeps you running.
SolidWorks in India, common questions
Is SolidWorks still available as a one-time perpetual licence in India?
Most new SolidWorks is now sold as an annual term subscription. Earlier perpetual licences can still be supported and renewed for maintenance, but new buyers should plan around a subscription. We tell you which model fits before you commit.
What is the difference between SolidWorks and 3DEXPERIENCE Works?
Same modeling power. 3DEXPERIENCE Works adds cloud-based data management, version control and browser access, so distributed teams share one source of truth without running their own server.
Do I need a special workstation to run SolidWorks?
Yes for anything beyond simple parts. A certified GPU, 32GB or more RAM and a fast CPU keep large assemblies smooth. We spec and supply the machine alongside the licence so the two are matched.
Can Sirius Star help if we already own SolidWorks?
Yes. Many clients come to us only for renewals, an upgrade, better hardware, or to lock down their design files. You do not have to buy the licence from us to get the deployment and protection work.
How fast can we get a SolidWorks quote?
Send your team size, what you design, and how many sites you work across. We respond within 8 working hours with a clear, itemised quote.

A Navi Mumbai machine-building team came to us with five SolidWorks seats running on tired laptops. We did not sell them more licences. We moved them to certified workstations and locked their design files. Same software, half the waiting, and their drawings stopped leaving the building. If your renewal lands in the next 90 days, send me the existing quote on WhatsApp and we will show you what the whole picture should cost.
