Hasp not found old computer died

[paul nevells]

I have MCAM 8  mill and my old windows xp computer finally died, i bought a refurb XP computer and loaded mastercam on it. my hasp and software was from 2001 and has never been hooked to the internet,,i only used to write programs for my mill . I am the  original owner of the software and i have all the software and hasp registration paperwork and i cannot get the new computer to find the hasp

Go to the Alladin website, download and install the last edition of XP hasp drivers

[gcode]

Paul,

See the attached file I've downloaded from Mastercam.com

They are labeled Mastercam X and older and are dated 9/9/07

The instructions state that the hasp should not be plugged into the computer during installation.

hope this helps

please let me know once you have downloaded them so I can delete the attached file

Our data quota on eMC is small

This was not a good suggestion

Aladdin's website is no more.. the buyout is complete and everything is on Thales website now

HASPs are a very small ( and obsolete) part of a very large stable of software and security devices.

I spent about an hour looking for old XP Hasp drivers and had no luck at all

They may be there, but I could not find them.

I don't know if the drivers I upload for Paul solved his problem.

They are the oldest available from Mastercam.com, labeled "Mastercam X and older"

 Maybe he got it solved on his own?

Thank you gcode, i am back working again!!

[gcode]

you are welcome, happy to help

I'm going to delete that file attachment now.

I only have 30meg of data left on eMC and that file is eating 4 of it.

on a side note, you are a licensed Mastercam user and entitled to access the official Mastercam forum and download pages

you should see if the registration process will work with that 20 year old hasp.

should be able to run through the linking process with the standalone hasp key

that's what I was thinking... but he couldn't do that earlier because his new XP machine did not see the hasp.

yup

can't see the hasp

so you can't register on Mastercam.com

so you can't download the drivers

so you can't fix the machine.

so you can't see the hasp

an endless loop of can't

Well he did state not been on the internet with that system ever so how would he link it without it being on the internet to begin with? I have to assume going to do the same thing with the refurb system.
