Yeah, I am waiting for their reply.

Thanks, I tried that but it did not work. I do have an account at mastercam.com When I clicked on download HLE version, it downloaded Mastercam2021 instead. I received an activation code by email, which I used to get a license which appears in a CmContainer in codemeter as Mastercam evaluation 2019 and newer. During the activation, it appeared as "Demo".

That wasn't the point of my question. I have similar problem. So, if he did find an answer, may be that could've helped me. No need to bother quoting for similar replies in the future. Thanks.

Did you manage to get an answer?

Codemeter shows that my license is active, yet when mastercam starts, it doesn't detect it. Firewall is currently deactivated, so it os probably not the issue. Any idea? Ps: I am on Windows 7

Hi, I have just installed Mastercam 2021 HLE activated my license, but whenever I start the program, it gives me the message: "No Mastercam license found. Do you have an activation code?" I have no idea what is going on. I can't link my account either Mastercamdotcomlinking fails to generate code. Does anyone have an idea?

For the backward compatibility, yes. I was also able to see with the link, that the HLE version saves files with .emcam ( as opposed to .mcam for the professional version, I suppose). Does the HLE differ from the educational suite? If so, are files compatible between the two? As far as I understand, the HLE does not produce G-code, but I think the educational suite does. Though I heard that the educational version requires being on the school network to be able to use the license. I would like to not be too bound to my school's physical location, so I am exploring my options. That's why I asking so many questions. My workflow would be: 1 - create part geometry or use existing one to create tool paths in mastercam. 2 - generate G-code 3 - verify tool paths in Vericut I am trying to figure out a way to do as much as possible outside of school. Thanks.

Hi, I am new to mastercam and I am trying to understand how compatibility works. Are files created on a professional version usable and modifiable on an educational version and vice-versa? Is there any watermarking? If so, is it removable? Are files backwards compatible and usable in any version of the software? Can I use a file created and saved on Mastercam 2022 on Mastercam 2021 and transfert it back to the 2022 version? Thanks. Ps: I did a search before asking my questions, and I was not able to get an answer.
