Running SOLIDWORKS on a Terminal Server: Implementation Guide

Given the complexity and cost, consider these alternatives before committing to a Terminal Server deployment: solidworks terminal server

Consult the SolidWorks Hardware Certification page. Use server-grade NVIDIA RTX vGPU (e.g., A16, A40) with the enterprise vSphere hypervisor. If an organization must proceed with a server-hosted

SolidWorks is a popular computer-aided design (CAD) software used by engineers and designers to create, simulate, and manufacture products. As a resource-intensive application, SolidWorks requires a powerful hardware configuration to run smoothly. However, not all organizations have the budget or infrastructure to support high-performance workstations for every user. This is where SolidWorks Terminal Server comes into play. user profile management

If an organization must proceed with a server-hosted solution despite the risks, the following configurations improve the user experience:

For most small to medium engineering firms, the overhead of managing a vGPU-enabled Terminal Server—including driver certifications, user profile management, and potential performance tuning—often outweighs the benefits. However, for enterprises with existing VDI infrastructure and a clear need to support remote SolidWorks users without issuing powerful local workstations, a properly architected Terminal Server with NVIDIA vGPU remains a powerful, production-ready solution. Before beginning, conduct a proof-of-concept with your actual assemblies and network conditions, and always obtain written confirmation of licensing compliance from your authorized SolidWorks reseller.
