How to download/install SolidWorks 2018 instead of 2019?

#1

I’m trying to collaborate with students using SolidWorks 2018. It’s great that SolidWorks gives free licenses to FRC teams, but it appears all I can download is version 2019. If I use this version, the students won’t be able to open my files.

Does anyone know how I can download/install version 2018?

From your downloads section within your customer portal, there is a drop down where you can select the version. I am not sure if this will work if you are on a new subscription (After 2019 was released).

To be clear, Solidworks 2018-2019 student edition is in fact Solidworks 2018
