How to Access NX (Unigraphics) From Home

The immediate nation-wide need for home office capabilities has many of our clients wondering if Siemens products can be used while working from home. The answer is yes! Last week we posted The State of Coronavirus in the Workplace – NX (Unigraphics) Deployment Options. Due to the large response rate, we would also like to share a video provided by Siemens. In this webinar, you can learn how to run NX from home without the assistance of Siemens of GeoPLM support. However, please note that all solutions are dependent on personal or company IT policies and capabilities.

At this time there are two options available for those who need home office solutions. Users can either borrow a license or connect to NX from home.
