Determining What
Type of Sim you Have:
  |
|
NetHASP
SIM
NetHASPs
can be either Parallel or USB
style but will always be
RED .
A NetHASP is for people who
have
3 or more seats and
are running all of their Mastercam X off of one network license. |
 |
USB HASP
SIM
Uses the newest SIM technology HASP 4. |
 |
Parallel HASP
SIM
Old style SIM that
plugs into the printer port on your
computer. This type of SIM may be either a
HASP3 or HASP4.
HASP 3s are not
compatible with Version X. |
|
Because you have a parallel
port SIM we need to first check what generation of SIM it is.
HASP 3 and 4 look very similar. In order to determine what type
of SIM you have please go to
www.simswap.com
to test and replace the SIM if needed.
When you
run the program haspinfo.exe which is downloaded from
www.simswap.com
a box like this will open:

Click
"Test" to get the SIM
information that is shown here. As you
can see this SIM is in proper working order
(it is a HASP 4) so it passes the test.
If your SIM does NOT pass this
test then you need to fill out the information on
www.simswap.com
and CNC Software will send
you an updated USB SIM. Upon receipt of the USB SIM you MUST
send back your old HASP 3. The address
to return your old SIM is:
CNC Software
Attn: Sim Swap Dept.
671 Old Post Rd.
Tolland, CT 06084
If you
need a USB SIM and have a HASP 4 SIM
you can upgrade for $50. Call 765-778-2020

SIM Errors:
|
ERROR 1
Cause: Multiple reasons
(See HASP and NetHASP Installation guides on pages 3 and 4)
Solution: You need to
update your SIM drivers.

program automatically installs the drivers for the HASP and
NetHasp. Follow these steps if they need to be reinstalled.
1. Start the HASP Setup
program. Click Start, All Programs, Mastercam X, Hasp Setup.
2. Set the SIM type to HASP or
NetHASP depending on your setup.
3. Click Next as needed to
continue with the installation.
4. The message HASP HL Drivers
successfully installed will display when you’ve finished.

In some cases, v9 will not run after installing the HASP HL
drivers. In these cases, have the user run the HDD32.exe
from the c:\mcam9\common folder.

utility haspinfo.exe at www.simswap.com and follow the
instructions to exchange

Other Questions:
Question
1: The new
NetHasp drivers don’t work on NT.
Answer:
Windows NT 4 is no longer supported as a NetHASP client or
server.
Question
2: NetHasp
not found (15).” or a “NetHasp3 not supported” error.
Answer:
You are sure you have a Hasp4 and still get the error
message. You need to be pointing to the correct server IP in
the NH_SERVER_ADDR line in nethasp.ini as shown below.
Remember that the semi colon (;) indicates a remark or
comment so be sure to remove the leading semi colons.
Nethasp.ini
;;NH_SERVER_ADDR =
<Addr1>, <Addr2> ; IP addresses of all the NetHASP
Example:
NH_SERVER_ADDR = 192.168.0.4 ;
IP address of the NetHASP
Question
3: The
default nhsrv.ini has some settings that are NOT commented
out.
Answer:
This will cause your NetHASP server to be assigned the
example names. It should not affect the operation of the
NetHASP server or Mastercam.
Question
4: White
Parallel HASP becomes disconnected frequently during
printing.
Answer:
We are currenttly trouble shooting this in house and will
provide more information when it is available. For now the
only work around is to disconnect the printer.
Question
5: My hasp
won’t update with haspx.exe, why?
Answer:
In some situations depending on what Windows files are on
your system you will not be able to enter a new update code
into your hasp with haspx.exe. This usually happens when you
are entering
a new VX maintenance code into a system that has only V9
installed. Start the HASP Setup program.
Click Start, All Programs, Mastercam X, Hasp Setup. Then use
haspx.exe to update your hasp. Refer to VX downloads for
more info on this procedure.
Question
6: My nethasp
will not allow me to create a Zip2Go file. Why not?
Answer:
This is a known issue in MR2. You need to download the file
z2gdata.zip. Unzip the file and replace the files in the
mcamx_MR2/chooks/zip2go folder with these new files.
If all else fails, please give
us a call at 765-778-2020
