mill8.exe command line options.

[Albion]

Does anyone know if there is a list of all the mill8.exe command line options? I know about /1, /3, and /S, are there any others?

....and if you're a reseller you have 2 others I can think of.

Ok .. at the risk of sounding stupid.. I understand what switches are and options from DOS but could you tell me how they relate to mastercam and where the switches go.. do they go in the command line of the icon target?

Unless you are a reseller trying to emulate a particular level or an industrial SIM, or you have a NetHASP network license and are trying to sign out a particular Masterca level, there is still little use for the command line options.

If you are in one of the two situations listed above, Bullines has developed 'MLaunch' - a nice little System Tray utility that allows the user to graphically configure the requested license, rather then messing with command line arguments.

That pretty much sums it up right there. Unless you are a reseller you don't even have access to those two switches.

There is an application for this control over the licences if there are multiple seats using differing levels on a NetHASP. If the level control (ie /1,/2,/3) is not specified, Mastercam will grab a licence and tie it up so that others can not use it. Only need 2 seats of Level 3 of the 12 seats taht you have, Then use multiple Launch Icons with this control built in. This way the 2 Level 3's can float through the office until when someone needs it. Ask Al Brown for the Elegant Solution!

Below are some screenshots of the Mastercam Launcher 1.3.1 utility that I developed. This is the 'MLaunch' utility that Dave is talking about.

Here is the system tray icon and launch menu:

This is the configuration dialog:
