No SIM found

[JMCC]

Hello, 

I've acquired an older copy of MasterCamX5 and upon initial startup, am receiving a "No SIM found" error, on a PC.

Is anyone here familiar with this? And more specifically, know of a solution for it?

Thanks!

Well, for starters, acquiring an "older" copy is an issue in an of itself. You are not going to get any official support

Is the Hasp plugged in?

What kind of sim did you receive with your purchase?

What  kind on PC are you trying to run it on ?

Mastercam X5 was meant to run on Windows 7

You might try right clicking the desktop  shortcut and playing with the compatibility settings

Thanks. It was an old copy I downloaded from a friend. There was no sim included (that I was aware of). Would that SIM be a physical card, as found in a phone? Or digital?

I'm running Windows 11. I'll try right-clicking on it and see if I can change the parameters correctly,

That is probably crack software that has had the licensing files cracked.

Crack software is illegal

It could also be a legal version and your friend did not sell you the sim.

The "sim" for X5 would have been a USB device that looks like a small flash drive.

You plug it into a USB port and it contains the license that allows a legitimate seat of Mastercam to run.

The software will not run without it.
