Ncnet Lite from Cadem

[mike10]

ncet lite from cadem they say its free but you can only download a 30 day trial

[DareBee]

Ncnet Lite is 100% free.

You must have downloaded Ncnet 1

Mike,
forget about these "lite" Versions. CNCnet DNC allows an unlimited number of CNCs, has NO limited functions, Protocols like Heidenhain and Mazatrol are included.
Best of all: Its FREEWARE
Trial: http://sec.dnc.at?u=3071&u1=3775&f=CNCnet_DNC_en.msi
Registered: http://www.wieland.us/cnc-erp/en/ind...artikel=678806

In case you didn't notice this thread was 3 years old - either you didn't exist then or your software didn't show up in any reference searches.

Also, I would be happy to give your Free software a try but your registration form will not accept my location information, I guess this leaves me high and dry.

Darebee,
just tried without problems. I also had lot of registrations from US today. Take the trial link this directly leads to the installer file.

Sometimes I wonder how people in india develop software for cnc's, this has to be done at the cnc (We have plenty of them in our sauerkraut nation...)

OK - tried you again
Useless
1) Seems that Canadians can not register (probably postal code issue on the form)
2) Only available COM port is 1! - not much good.
3) You can't even close the program when done! Hit the "close program X" and get a "Level 0 privileged is required ......" error!

What a waste of my time

Darebee,
looks like you do not like to read online help:

1) To assign com ports to machine: Configuration -> Hardware -> Number Ports, restart software
Configuration -> Hardware -> [Configuration]
Assign COM ports to machines, done.

2) Close Software. This software is used by quite large companies. The operators are at the machine. They fetch their NC Files via remote commands.

Imagine: Someone switches off the software and the machine operators try and try...

You can change this behaviour via the security configuration!

[DareBee]

If I try to do anything at all - period
I get
"Level 0 privileged is required ......" error!
Pretty hard to set up software that won't do anything but error.

Why don't you switch Level from restricted to privileged ?

Background: You have spend days setting up a "Fadal Vertical Machining Centre" control. Some worker plays around with the settings, all gone. Thats why there's Privileged !

Click the Dropdown box in the main window or Click on Levels Privileged. Please do not ask me why there are 2 possible methods to switch users: In some configurations you do not have a mouse (e.g. when using the software at an XP CNC)

Ca you tell me ur ZIP Code ?
