Solidworks 2018 Activator Ssq Error 6 ★ Proven

The "Error 6" encountered in the SolidWorks 2018 SSQ (SolidSquad) activator typically points to a conflict with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) 7.1 components or an "Access Violation". This often happens when a newer version of SolidWorks (2021 SP2 or later) was previously installed on the machine, leaving behind a version of VBA that the older 2018 installer cannot override. Potential Fixes for Error 6

Quick checklist (start here)

  1. Confirm license method: Verify whether your organization uses standalone (serial-based) or network/SSN (Site/SNL) licensing. Activation steps differ.
  2. Use official channels: Always prefer SolidWorks’ official activation process via the SolidWorks Activation Wizard or your reseller/SOLIDWORKS admin.
  3. Check files: Ensure the activation request (.REQ/.RRF) and response (.RES/.RSP) files are complete and unmodified.
  4. Clock & locale: Ensure system date/time and time zone are correct; mismatches can invalidate tokens.
  5. Run as Administrator: Launch the SolidWorks Activation Wizard or license utility with administrative privileges.
  6. Antivirus/Firewall: Temporarily disable or add exceptions if local security tools are blocking file creation or license utilities.
  7. Paths & permissions: Ensure the license folder (usually C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS) is writable and not redirected or blocked by policies.
