How reinstall mastercam 8.1

[machineshopt]

Hello,

 

I have been using an educational mastercam 8.1 level 3 mill and level 1 lathe for some time.

I did upgrade from the white sim to a USB Hasp. The color is purple or blue, I am color blind.

 

The computer hard drive I use had serious problems and now mastercam will not function.

 

The USB hasp does not glow and when I try to open mastercam it states hasp not found.

 

The mastercam files are still there.

 

Any suggestions for this problem?

 

Thanks,

Have you tried the hasp in another USB port? Sometimes the actual port is an issue.

Have you tried the hasp in another USB port? Sometimes the actual port is an issue.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

I installed a jump drive into the usb port and it worked, I did this to ensure the port was working. The jump drive opened.

 

I did try another usb connection and had no luck.

When I installed the hasp, a Window appeared on the task bar:

 

The task bar window stated found new hardware HASP HL 3.25, Aladdin USB Key.

 

 

Then a window on the desktop appeared saying:

 

The window asked for the file 'aksusb.sys' on Aladdin Install disk is needed.

Type the path where the file is located and then click OK.

 

In the box also is a selection window showing:

Copy files from:

c:\windows\system32\setup\aladdin

 

I clicked the OK button and the file selection turned blue and nothing happened.

 

I hope this information is useful to help resolve the issue.

 

Thanks,

Just need to install the HASP drivers; you can get them here: http://www.mastercam.com/Support/Downloads/Misc/files/drivers_x.exe
