I just got a quote sheet from a local distributer:
2011 - Single-User License, Home Use License, 90 Day Warranty
$ North America License Cost / $ Subscription Service Cost
SolidWorks Products:
SolidWorks Standard
$4,000 / $1,300
SolidWorks Professional
$5,500 / $1,500
SolidWorks Premium
$8,000 / $2,000
There are a number of add-ons you can get... for additional purchase costs and annual maintenance subscriptions.
If you Google SolidWorks Costs and click on "Shopping", you will find student editions (12mo licence, w/ some limitations) starting around $100-$150.
I was also given a quote of $1,400 for a 4 day (32hr) introductory training seminar.
