This year the Beta program will be available to everyone via the Solidworks Customer Portal on the Solidworks website instead of the special Solidworks Beta link.

The Solidworks 2009 Beta Release is expected to be released soon. The Beta program for Solidworks 2009 will officially launch in early June 2008. The Beta teasing is scheduled to start later this year than for the previous year because Solidworks noticed people lost interest over such a long duration of Beta testing.
