Introduction
A valid license is required to use the CIMCO Probing software.
- Local license
A local license is installed locally on each individual PC that needs access to use the software, it is associated with a local Mastercam SIM/license and can't be used with a network Mastercam SIM/license.
- Floating license
A floating license is installed on a server and is associated with any number of local Mastercam SIMs/licenses or network Mastercam SIMs/licenses. When launching the software with a floating license, the license is reserved while the Mastercam session is active, preventing other users from grabbing the license, but the license can be released using the 'Release license' toolbar icon (See "Toolbar icons") making it available to other users.
