Network licensing and NetHASP

With network licensing, a group of Mastercam users who are all connected to the same network can run Mastercam from any PC on the network. Instead of requiring one HASP per computer to run Mastercam, a single NetHASP is installed on any PC on the network. That computer is referred to as the NetHASP server. Even though it is called the NetHASP server, it does not need to be configured as a network server. It can be any PC or workstation on the network, whether or not Mastercam is installed on it.

Although NetHASP supports most networks, CNC Software, Inc. tests and supports its use only with Windows XP or Windows 2000 in a TCP/IP network environment. Click on any of the following topics to learn more about installing and configuring NetHASP.

• Configuring the NetHASP server
• Configuring the Mastercam client workstations
• Using the nethasp.ini file
• Managing licenses with command line switches
• Registry keys used by NetHASP

For more information, please read the document Mastercam Network Licensing.doc. For sophisticated NetHASP applications, several powerful and easy-to-use diagnostic and management tools are available from Aladdin Software. These will help you search for and identify NetHASP servers, configure NetHASP for non-TCP/IP networks, and generate .ini files.
