Solidworks 2009 Beta Testing Begins In June
Friday, May 30th, 2008The 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. This year’s program will shrink down from a 15 week period to an 8 week program. The Solidworks 2009 Beta test program is set up so that Solidworks users across a variety of industries can help to make the final build of the Solidworks 2009 software as good as possible when it is finally released. This year the Beta program will be available to everyone via the Solidworks Customer Portal on the Solidworks website. (As of the day this was typed the Solidworks 2009 Beta is not yet released for testing) Some incentive for being part of the Solidworks 2009 beta test program is that Solidworks gives points for every glitch and bug found in their software. After, Solidworks gives away free stuff to people with a lot of points. Some of the top contributors to the Solidworks 2009 Beta test program win a free copy of Solidworks! Buying Solidworks yourself can run around $5,000 so it’s a nice prize if you ask me! More information will be released soon.
