Mastercam Hasp not found!

[gargodude]

I am running an existing installation of X6 with NETHASP, using Mastercam-licensed CIMCO editor on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Occasionally, when posting or creating a setup sheet, the machine waits about 30 seconds and then gives the error message: "Mastercam Hasp not found!" The HASP is right there where it has always been (on the same machine) and MasterCAM opens just fine. I have searched the forum for this problem and everybody says the same thing: "just copy your nethasp.ini file into the CIMCO folder". This does not solve the problem. Neither does re-booting the machine or moving the NETHASP to a different USB port. Neither does setting my Norton Anti-Virus to exclude CIMCOedit.exe or nethasp.ini. Anoybody have a real solution to this problem?

Have you contacted your reseller?

 

As I seem to recall, Cimco was providing something to customers to alleviate this issue

Not yet. Of course this problem only happens after 5PM and on weekends. I'm going to call them today when they open. I called Cimco about it last time it happened and they said it was not anything they could do anything about because Mastercam licenses the copy you get with Mastercam.

UPDATE: I just tried posting to a setup sheet on the other machine on the network (not the one that the HASP is plugged into) and it worked fine. I then tried it on the host machine and it still gives the error message.

UPDATE- FIXED! Just got off the phone with Jack at Sierra CAD/CAM. All I had to do was run nhaspx.exe on the host machine and set it to "local" (it was set to "network"). On the satellite machine, it should be (and was) set to "network". I know this was the way I set it up, but somehow, it got changed. I'm the only one who uses these computers, so how did it get changed? Evil spirits? Hmmmm. Many thanks to Jack!

I will have to look at this next week when I get my new Nethasp next week and should be getting all new dealer lic of the new Cimco soon to.

I will run the new Cimco 7 as it is looking real nice.

 

Glad it is all worked out for you.

Cimco 7 is out? It doesn't show up on the Website?

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

CIMCO 7 is still beta I believe. That's what I have.

[Jayson Kramer]

Sorry Todd is correct it is in beta. I have ask them for how long before we can offer it. now selling Cimco

it should be (and was) set to "network". I know this was the way I set it up, but somehow, it got changed.

 

Perhaps you uninstalled CodeMeter and then later re-installed CodeMeter and the settings got changed during that process.

Hi, Could anyone help me to solve this issue of Hasp not found in Mastercam2017 whenever I'm posting? thank you. I'll appreciate any input concerning my problem.

It sounds like you are trying to run an encrypted post that is not complied for your hasp

Have you changed hasps recently? If so, you'll need to get in touch with your post developer

and get your post recompiled for your new hasp

What is the editor you are using to post to? Have you tired using notepad and see if you can post code? Have you checked the folder where the code needs to go and seen if there is code in that folder? Then it tells me the post is working and the editor is having issues with finding the post. I have seen this on computers that were once running crack version of Mastercam and then go legit. The only way I know to fix the issue is to do a clean install of windows and then install Mastercam. Not saying you were using a pirated version of Mastercam, just what I have seen.
