    Tool library on 2 computers?

    I use a dongle license for HSMworks....I do most of my work on my workstation at the office, but sometimes use my laptop and work on things at home... What is the best way to use my tool library on both machines? Should I just build the library on a USB drive and set both machines to read the library from that USB drive?

    Thanks!

    HSMWorks Library

    That would work. All the tool data is stored in a .hsmlib file located by default in the /libraries directory. Just copy it to your laptop, then back again if you've altered it.

    Sorry so long to answer you. I mostly monitor the new HSMWorks forum now.
