Hello all, I work in IT at a college and we have an odd problem in our CAD computer lab. We currently have Mastercam 2017 installed on 25 machines and they are communicating with our license server via Nethasp (25 seat license file on the server). We can launch Mastercam, it finds the license server and loads up fine. Problem is that we can only launch the program on 1 computer at a time. Not to say that we are unable to use all 25 seats…we can. We need to physically click the desktop shortcut on each client computer about 20 seconds apart in order to have Mastercam launch on all 25 computers. 1 client needs to launch Mastercam fully before we can launch another client. If we try to launch multiple clients at the same time we get one of these errors. It’s almost like if the server is talking to 1 client (verifying the license via Nethasp), it cannot speak to any other clients until it is done with the current client. The error occurs on the splash screen after about 20 seconds of "Checking Hasp..." “Exiting…No Mastercam license found. Do you have an activation code?” “Exiting…No Mastercam products enabled on this license” This becomes a problem in a classroom environment for us since all the students log in at the same time at the beginning of class and try to launch Mastercam. The only way to get things working is to have Computer #01 launch Mastercam fully, followed by Computer #02, and so on for the next 10 minutes. This wastes a lot of time. Just wondering if anyone else out there is running a nethasp setup with multiple machines...and if so, would you mind testing this out for me in your environment? Login to a handful of machines and simultaneously launch Mastercam on them all. I'm trying to determine if it's worth it to rebuild a fresh server, or if I can fix the problem on the current server...or if this is something that happens to everyone and there is not a fix. I've contacted Mastercam support and they had me verify the nethasp.ini and nhsvr.ini settings. Also reinstalled a clean copy of the License Manager to no avail. Thanks for any help with this! -
Afternoon, I'm trying to use the Dongle provided with our Mastercam X7 software for licensing. Currently we have it set up on a physical box, however I would like to consolidate that and place it on our License Server. Our "license server" is virtualized and is hosted on a VMWare ESXi host. The issue I was running into was the end users were able to see that Virtual Server, however they would keep getting disconnected from the dongle. Has anybody have any success with hosting the dongle in a Virtual Environment? If so, could you please let me know what you did to make this work?

Hi Everyone, If you are looking for something cool to do with mastercam go to the next post. I did a search and I couldn't find a solution to this so I’ll throw this out there; We are considering converting over to Nethasps within our organization. We have a location that already has a license server running so we had users test the connection. Everything went smooth and we didn’t see a single issue. One of the testers was already on a nethasp so all he did was change the nethasp.ini file. The other person had a hard hasp and it caused a huge headache. After the testing I think the user ran the nethasp.exe utility and selected Hasp. He started Mastercam again and it fired right up. I thought everything was fine – now I found out that all of his user settings changed? At first I thought there was no way – the nethasp.ini file only has the connection settings. I started digging and I saw that some of the stuff is stored in the registry. So today I conducted a little experiment. I changed one of the registry settings for the shared directory and reverted to a standard hasp. I opened up the directory I created for the test and inside was a file - mcamx.config. I looked at the registry value and it had returned to the default folder for shared documents?? I guess they were right – changing back and forth between a hasp to a nethasp can have some unexpected changes. I’m not sure what his settings were before the test, but I definitely didn’t consider this as a potential problem. Has anyone else run into this? Any recommendations on making the conversion smoother next time, or knowledge of what changes when running the nethasp.exe utility. Thanks in advance, Dan

We let a programmer go in June and his machine has not been used since. X^ ran fine the day he was let go. About once a month I run Windows update, but never launched X6 This morning I thought I'd use it to crunch some long toolpaths. I ran the MR2 update but X6 wouldn't launch.. "no sim found" Nhasp.exe was set properly and X4 and X5 launched OK. Uninstalled/reinstalled X6 ... nothing .. Lastest greatest hasp drivers (9/21/12) nothing did a registery search ... see attached screen shot this is a shot of my workstation .. which runs properly on the other workstation , "NetHASP mode" was set to local.... even though nhasp.exe was set correctly. I changed it to "Network" ... like this sceen shot and the problem was solved... I've seen this problem pop up on the forum a few times... maybe this will help somebody out
