Idle Mastecam session save and close after a said time?

[Thee Rickster ™]

Is there a program or something that can achieve this?

 

I have seat on a Hasp, the other 4 seats are shared by my helper

and the CNC department. Some users get side tracked for many

hours and leave their seat open and have to be tracked down

by our IT guy so other users can open MC.

 

Even a program that alerts the IT guy that a seat is idle for 15 mins and gives

him the pc or user that has left it idle.

 

We can not seem to find a suitable solution by talk and memo's....lol

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Rick, there is a setting in the autosave back up settings

 

Might want to try turning that on

 

 

Save and close, never mind

 

Try having the offenders drawn and quartered, after the 1st one, they'll remember

I like your 2nd option best!

Have the computer shut down after 15 minutes. Not go to sleep but complete shut down so it will release the license. Anyone caught changing the settings will be written up. The 3rd time it happens they are sent home for 3 days without pay. Keeps happening they are shown the door. With a policy like that I promise it will come to a halt very quick.

I had IT write a script that would boot all the users off the hasp. When they come back to the computer they can still save before it closes, but the seats are released.

We have a network Hasp manager that can pull licenses from anywhere. It will just tell the user that their hasp has been removed and they need to save. Do it all the time.

+100000000 that is something I had never seen before thanks for the link and information.

Yeah it's expensive for what is is but it works well and we can access over VPN and use all of our software that uses a HASP.

Only thing is if Mastercam goes to a node lock process then all of that will be null and void.

Yep, we have other software that's node lock but it has it's own license manager so we can do pretty much the same thing. I don't think it would be very wise for CNC to go this direction since so many people like to take their HASPS home or go to a bunch of different un-networked computers.

So with this you can reset every say 5min? Or can it tell inactivity?

Does this device know mastercam wants a lathe license and not a mill license?

 

Thanks for the info. This looks like a great device.

Josh,

You can select individual licenses from a list. You can check out as many as you want on one computer. It is basically a usb to LAN switch.

Here's the .bat I used for our nethasp:

 

@echo off

net stop "HASP Loader"

ping localhost -n 60 > nul

net start "HASP Loader"

 

I then used windows scheduler to run it every 5min.
