Maintenance expired?

[Del.]

Mastercam 7 will not open for me. It says maintenance has expired and I need to use an older version. I know it's up to date but IT guy is not here and gone until Monday. Is there anything I can do? Running on a Nethasp.

Del,

to fix this you need 2 things.

your new maintenance codes or emergency codes from your dealer

and physical access to the hasp in the server room.

 

If you have the codes go pull the hasp and plug it into your computer

Launch nethasp.exe

 

C:\Program Files\mcamx7\NHaspX.exe

 

and use it to install the new codes

Then plug the hasp back into the server and you're back in business.

Make sure you plug it back into the same USB port in the server!!!

 

It sounds like you renewed maintenance and your IT dept installed the new temp codes

good for 30 days. You don't get permanent codes till the bill is paid.

 

If you can find your old codes and install them, X7 SP2 should run.. but you won't be able

to run MU1.

 

The other option is call your dealer and ask for some emergency codes to get you through the end of the year.

Thanks G. I called my reseller and he is sending the new codes to someone here who I hope does it right. lol

And don't ever try rolling back the system clock thinking you're going to outsmart the hasp. You will end up calling your dealer after discovering the hasp will not work at all, and they will laugh at you after you tell them what you did. Then they will send you new update codes to use after you fix the clock.

I believe the hasp will commit suicide if you roll the system clock back

Temporary suicide. It can be revived with a new code.

 

First hand experience here.

Arrrrrrrr! Shiver me hasp!!!

I had this happen once myself, by moving a hasp to a computer with a system clock that was

2 years behind.

I had no idea what happened at the time ( early X days)

The hasp just quit working and my employer had to get a new one.

 

This was an old white parallel hasp
