Use this administrator's guide to learn about updating SIM codes, starting Mastercam 2017 with Mastercam Launcher or command-line switches, and administering an installation over a network. Entering SIM Update Codes When you install or upgrade Mastercam 2017, and you are not on Mastercam 2017 Maintenance, you must also update your HASP and NetHASP SIMs with an update code. The SIM must be activated with the update code before you can run the new or updated version of Mastercam 2017. See instructions for "Updating NetHASP Codes" on page 30. The update code is a file that is delivered to you by one of these methods: l Included with your Mastercam 2017 software kit l Mailed on electronic media l E-mailed as a file attachment Contact your local Mastercam Reseller if you cannot locate your update code. Update code files have a file extension that indicates the type of SIM license they update. The Mastercam installation program associates these file extensions with the program that you use to update the SIM codes. File Extension SIM License Type SIM License Type HCODE HASP HaspX.exe NHCODE NetHASP NHaspX.exe Mastercam Administrator Guide — Updates Note: If your computer has multiple HASP SIMs, remove all SIMs except the Mastercam SIM before entering the update code. Before entering the update code Use one of the following methods to prepare for the update, based on the format of the update code that you received and your personal preference: l E-mail attachment: Save the attachment as a file to an accessible loc- ation. (Do not change the file extension.) l Mastercam 2017 installation kit electronic media: Insert the media in the appropriate drive to access the file. Updating HASP codes CAUTION: Before this phase of the update process, be sure you have completed the steps in Installing a HASP (Single-User License) and Installing Mastercam in the Mastercam 2017 Installation Guide. Also, the following steps must be done on the computer to which the HASP is attached. Updates over a remote connection will fail. To enter a HASP update code: You can enter a HASP code automatically by double-clicking the update code file (*.HCODE). To update the code manually, perform the following procedure. 1. Choose one of the following methods to run HaspX.exe. The method you choose is based on the update code format and your preference: l From the Windows desktop, choose Start, All Programs, Mastercam 2017, Utilities, Hasp X. or Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the Mastercam 2017 installation location, and double-click HaspX.exe. Mastercam Administrator Guide — Updates 6 7 The HaspX utility analyzes the SIM and displays the SIM serial number and current Mastercam products. Verify that the displayed serial number matches the serial number provided with your Mastercam 2017 2017 soft- ware kit. Note: Keep a record of the serial number in the event that you need to con- tact Technical Support Services at CNC Software or your Reseller. 2. In the HaspX dialog box, choose Update code to open the code file that you received. The HaspX utility extracts the update code from the file. 3. Choose Update at the top of the HaspX dialog box. The program updates the SIM and displays the products for which the SIM has been activated. 4. Choose OK to exit the HaspX utility. Mastercam Administrator Guide — Updates Note: l Start date/End date: Displays the start date and end date for the SIM. l Maintenance Expiration date: Shows the date your Maintenance plan expires, based on your annual renewal date. l HASP Status: Shows whether the utility found the HASP SIM on your computer. SIM Not Found error On rare occasions, Mastercam might not find your SIM. Try the following sug- gestions to fix the problem: l Run NHaspX.exe, and ensure that the correct type of SIM, either HASP or NetHASP, is selected: l Remove and reconnect the SIM. l Try a different USB port. Mastercam Administrator Guide — Updates 8 9 l Check that the SIM is lighted. An unlighted SIM is either broken or not receiving power from the USB port. l Reinstall the SIM drivers (see the "Manually installing SIM drivers" below). If the problem persists, contact CNC Software Technical Support Services for assist- ance. Manually installing SIM drivers The Mastercam 2017 installation program automatically installs the software needed to use the HASP SIM with Mastercam. In the event that the SIM drivers need to be reinstalled, choose Start, All Programs, Mastercam 2017, Utilities, Hasp Setup, and then follow the instructions on screen to install the SIM drivers.
