Can SolidWorks customers become Partners?
The Partner program is for companies whose business is providing products for SolidWorks customers. Nearly all SolidWorks customers will develop productivity tools which assist them in their day to day work. If these tools are fully developed into released products which are marketed, sold and supported, they may apply for Solution Partner status. Customers by definition already have a seat of SolidWorks, hence are not eligible to apply for Research Associate status which is designed to help software companies who do not already have a seat of SolidWorks.
