able level of that platform on your SIM, and the status of the
platform.
The Level column has a drop-down arrow that allows you to
select a specific level of a product. For NetHASP clients, you
can see what levels are available at that time and choose
which one you want to use. Only the levels that are licensed
on the SIM will appear.
The Status column also has a drop-down arrow that allows
you to choose from the following status settings:

Notes:
If a platform is not enabled on a SIM, the entire row is inactive.
For a Reseller HASP or NetHASP, all platforms and add-ons are
available. For a non-Reseller NetHASP, the fields for items that
are not licensed are unavailable.
39

To check out a license for the session, click the arrow button
in the Status column for the Add-on product you want to
work with, and set the status to Enable. If you choose the
Disabled status, that Add-on is not available for you to use,
even though it is available on the NetHASP.
A Not Licensed status means that the Add-on is not licensed
on your SIM, and therefore you do not have access to that
Add-on.
Not all Add-ons are checked out at start-up. Items that are
not checked out at start-up are marked Automatic Checkout.
Add-on products that are not available on the SIM are inaccessible. If an Add-on is on the SIM but all of the instances
are in use, the available number in the Licenses available
column will be 0, and you will not be able to use it.

Error Messages
When Mastercam starts, it attempts to get a license from the NetHASP
server. Following are the most common error messages you may
receive when a license cannot be obtained:
Error checking out a [product name] license. No licenses have been
purchased for this product. Contact your Reseller and purchase the
necessary options.
Active NetHASP server not found. The NetHASP license manager is
not running. Check the NetHASP server and restart as necessary.
All available licenses are in use. The maximum number of users
allowed to license a product are using it at the current time.
Approximately once every 2 to 10 minutes, Mastercam verifies that
the NetHASP server is still running and that the NetHASP is attached
to the server. If this test failsfor example, due to a power loss or
server failurethe following message is displayed on all PCs running

Notes:
For English-language Mastercam installations, the Update
Manager connects you directly to CNC Software, Inc. for
update information.
For non-English Mastercam installations, the Update Manager
redirects you to your local Reseller for information on available
updates.
Although you can run the Update Manager from the
Mastercam X application, it is a separate application that
resides in the Mastercam X \UPDATESERVICE directory.

INSTALLATION 55
Installation
Mastercam must install components into the Windows system32
folder, as well as register these components globally. Mastercam must
also install HASP security device drivers. For this reason, you can
install Mastercam X3 only as a member of the Administrator group.
Additionally, to install Mastercam X3 properly, the user must have the
Impersonate a client after authentication group policy. The Administrator group gets this permission by default, but some upgrade
scenarios may not have this permission set. Without this permission,
the installation will fail at the very end, after all program files have
been copied. In this case, the status text on the installation will read
Publishing Product Information.
When installing as an Administrator for other users, you must select
the Anyone who uses this computer (all users) option. This option
is the default setting for the installation.
Mastercam X3 will not install to a drive created with the SUBST
command. To install in this scenario, use the actual path to the
desired installation directory, not the substituted drive letter.
A6
System Settings
The following sections describe important system settings, including
file and registry permissions, as well as network configuration and
group policies.
File System
Mastercam X3 requires the user to have read and write access to the
installation directory. By default, Mastercam X3 installs into the root
of the Windows system volume (the drive where Windows is
installed), under a directory called \mcamx. The Windows system
volumes default permissions allow any user to read and write to
directories created in the root.
Note: Starting with Mastercam X3, configuration files (.CONFIG)
can reside in folders outside of the \mcamx structure (for
example, in a network location. Configuration files are the only
files that can reside elsewhere.
However, many users prefer to install Mastercam X3 into the
\Program Files directory to conform to Windows standards. When
you install Mastercam X3 into this directory, the directory inherits the
\Program Files directorys restricted permissions. In this case, users
who will use Mastercam X3 from this location must be granted write
permissions to the Mastercam installation directory (and all subdirectories). Users do not need write permissions for the \Program Files
directory.
Registry
To run Mastercam, the user needs permission to read from the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CNC Software, Inc.\ key.
This key is created during the installation and contains default
Mastercam X3 settings.
The user also needs read and write permission to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CNC Software, Inc.\. This key
is created when the user first starts Mastercam X3 and is used to store
per-user settings.
These registry permissions are the Windows system default, so no
adjustment is needed in a default Windows installation.
SYSTEM SETTINGS 57
Network
Mastercam X3 can use a NetHASP security device to service
Mastercam licenses from a central location. Because these licenses
are served over a network, a firewalled server running a NetHASP
must allow the license server to communicate through the firewall.
Doing this requires two configuration steps:
Group Policies
By setting group policies, you can severely restrict the permission on a
Windows system. Mastercam X3 runs with the default group policies.
Most other group policies have no effect on Mastercams ability to
run. However, a combination of group policies might cause issues
with Mastercam X3.
