3ds solidworks UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2025 and < 2026 · 2026 sp0

Fixed in: 2026

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2025

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy solidworks || rpm -q solidworks || solidworks --version

2. UPGRADE to 2026 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade solidworks

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade solidworks

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2025 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison solidworks sudo apt install solidworks=<VERSION_BEFORE_2025> sudo apt-mark hold solidworks

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list solidworks sudo dnf downgrade solidworks-<VERSION_BEFORE_2025> sudo dnf versionlock add solidworks

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
