Machine Simulation modes 372 Website: cadcenter.vn cung cap tai lieu & Video hoc CAD CAM CNC Appendix Appendix SolidCAM Security Hardware Key To prevent the unauthorized access to the software, SolidCAM is using the hardware protection key, the plug-in device that enables the software authentication SolidCAM hardware keys are available both for USB and LPT ports to support both standalone and network usage To view the information about the hardware key you are using, click SolidCAM and choose Hardware Key Info from the menu The Hardware Key Info dialog box is displayed Key type This section displays the type of the key you are using: either standalone or network • Standalone hardware key enables you to run SolidCAM only on one computer where the key is installed • Network hardware key enables you to run SolidCAM simultaneously on several computers connected to a local area network There are two types of network hardware keys: non-configurable and configurable A Non-configurable hardware key enables you to use the same set of available SolidCAM modules for all SolidCAM network users A Configurable hardware key enables you to choose a specific set of modules for each SolidCAM network user Expiration date This section displays the expiration date of the key Additional features This section lists the additional modules, with which the current key enables you to work, such as the DNC software Modules The list of CAM modules you can work with using this key 373 Website: cadcenter.vn cung cap tai lieu & Video hoc CAD CAM CNC Host support The list of CAD

section displays the version of SolidCAM supported by this key Evaluation When this check box is selected, most machining modules of SolidCAM supported by this key are available for working Save info This button enables you to save the information about the key as an *.htm file Configurable Network hardware keys A Configurable hardware key enables you to choose a specific set of modules for each SolidCAM network user When you start SolidCAM, choose the seat configuration to which you want to connect Click on the corresponding row in the table under Seat configuration selection The row will become green if you connected to the network successfully or red if the connection failed; in the latter case the error message will be displayed Seat configuration selection Available This column
