    Cool psb file

    Can anyone explain to me how to open a psb file or how to get the post working. It says expired when I try to post. And NO I didn't get it from a reseller. I have a friend who wants to use it on his Mazak Integrex Lathe. Just trying to save his company some $$. If I did get it from a reseller I wouldn't be here talking to you guys.
    Thanks.

    A PSB file is a compiled post, usually for a multi-axis machine that works with the PST file

    It is locked to the SIM or HASP and can only be used by the permitted SIM, permissions can only be altered by a reseller or higher up the chain. Some resellers can apply a expiry date on a post for instances of post mods to ensure that the most current stays active

    Sorry, but you may be out of luck
    you would be able to use the generic posts and mod them yourself for simpler machining tasks

    As Superman says... It's a locked file and also associates the post to a specific SIM key. You can edit the lookup for the PSB from the post file but I guarantee you that large parts of the post will not work correctly or give you many errors (if the post you're tweaking is from who I think it is).

    Integrex post isn't that expensive and you get support for it as well...
    It's just a part..... cutter still goes round and round....
