Gray toolbar ???

[MachineManiac]

Hi everyone

I was just opening a file and when it opens, toolbar is gray ? why is that? i cant do anything with the part...it shortly flashes as an active, but goes gray again.
License is ok because if i stop my license-server, it warns me during solidworks startup that CAWWorks-license server is not running. When i turn it on again, everything starts normally without warning, but the toolbar is still gray.

Icons, such as CAMWorks options and technology database are still active.
And tools > Add-Ins, CAMWorks is selected.

I cant find any information from this situation, is there any settings that might do this??

Hi brandper,
Hope you got your problem solved by now...but :-).
It sounds like your license manager is not looking the right place for your license key.
Go to All Programs->CAMWorksXXXX->Manuals->Installation.pdf and find the area either "Standalone" or "Network" settings, depending on what you have and make sure your settings are correct.
You could also contact your local CAMWorks reseller(list found on CAMWorks.com).
Hope you find this helpful.

Best regards,
Lars
