Strange because they told me that that version is only for "SWUG Leaders" (SolidWorks User Group), and they are planning a separate version for makers that costs $99/year and also seems to be some shitty cloud-based version (it's exact nature is shrouded in marketing nonsense):

Asked the Solidworks Customer Service people about this, and they said to use "XSEK12" as the serial number when filling out that form.
You may need to choose "Maker" in the user type drop down too (unsure).
When trying it quickly after receiving the email, it seemed to work fine. :)

Yeah. I gave them a throw-away email address for that "Makers" sign up page a few weeks ago when they announced it.
They immediately began spamming it. Ugh.
Lost all interest in it at that point. They really don't seem to understand their audience.
Since we're on the subject of free "Community Edition" CAD software, Siemens Solid Edge seems decent (but no CAM):

Should be completely fine for 3D printing. :)
