SolidWorks Training
Our company was quickly outgrowing our SolidWorks licensing and stand alone seats simply didn’t make sense for us anymore. However, I was very skeptical about networked licensing. The Hawk Ridge team allowed me to come to their office, test drive the network license, and really get comfortable with what we were signing up for. The team is knowledgeable, flexible, and extremely responsive. You don’t always get to choose your software reseller, but if given a choice I would choose Hawk Ridge every time.
