Anti-Piracy Statement

Software piracy is a serious issue for the software industry. According to some analysts, 36% of the software installed on computers worldwide was pirated in 2003. Revenue lost to software piracy during this period is estimated at $29 billion worldwide.

SolidWorks Corporation and Symmetry Solutions Incorporated take piracy very seriously. SolidWorks is a member of the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), two of the leading anti-piracy organizations in the world. SolidWorks endorse both groups' efforts to fight software piracy through education and enforcement activities.
