    MasterCam from desk top to machine computer

    Wondering if anyone can help. Totally frustrated with LazyCam so I need something else. I have a copy of MasterCam on my design computer and I was wondering if I can copy and put it on my machine computer?

    It would be nice to have two copies so that I could play with the tool path in the comfort of home and have another copy down in the shop just in case.

    Thanks,

    WM

    do you have the install disks, then you can load and then borrow the Dongle from the design computer if the boss ok's it.

    I bought all the machinery used so I have no idea where the disks are.

    I am the boss so I think it is ok.

    You can just download MCAM from the mastercam website onto your other computer and use the Dongle back and forth.

    I don't believe you can simply copy it from your current computer unless you have the native .EXE file on it....which is what you download from mastercam anyway.
