[Da...] Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hello. I am looking for calypso offline for sale. I contacted with Zeiss from UK a few weeks ago and I was told that I cannot buy only calypso software as I do not have cmm machine which was absolutely stupid for me. Is it any other option ? Does anybody have offline software that I can buy it from ? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19564-calypso-offline/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people that do offline programming in Calypso that do not have a CMM. There are a few on this forum.

[Ro...] Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I wouldn't mind having Calypso on a laptop to use as a freelance programmer. Be a nice way to make some extra bucks. I wouldn't know why anyone with cash in hand couldn't just buy a copy & a dongle.

[Mi...] Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Sorry, I can't help much. I do offline programming but I got my software from my company that has machines.

[To...] Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Daniel, I just got the following reply from Zeiss US regarding purchasing a seat of Planner without having a CMM. "Yes they can, we have a few people that do contract work. " So, the only thing I can suggest you contact Zeiss in the UK again. Maybe ask them why it is possible in the US.

[Da...] Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Finally I received an answer from Zeiss that I am not able to buy Calypso Planner in UK without CMM machine. I have also tried after market sales in U.S. but finally I have been transferred to UK section. If someone can send me Calypso Planner install files through the Google drive etc. and wants earn some extra money please contact me via email: danielstawiarz@gmail.com That is really stupid from Zeiss but I am stock now.

[Br...] Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 You will need a license to use the software. You could look for a used machine and buy it for the software license. The License is linked to the Machine Serial Number. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19564-calypso-offline/#findComment-109976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 That is crazy. A lot of people are in business as Calypso programmers/contractors and they don't have a CMM and they are using an offline seat of Planner. Move the US.

[De...] Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I am surprised to hear people saying you can get a planner license in the US without a physical machine, because a few years ago when I asked Zeiss about this (in the US) I was told the exact same thing, that the planner / offline seat was tied to a serial number of a physical machine and could not be purchased without one. In fact the dongle's for both of our offline seats have physical machine serial codes on them followed by an A which I guess denotes that its an offline seat.

[La...] Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 All you need is a PC that is powerful enough to handle CAD. Doesn't need to be bought via Zeiss. The License can be bought as a dongle (USB-Stick) version, meaning your lincense is transferable to any PC. I'm using a CAD Laptop with Calypso Offline.

[Da...] Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 That does not answer my question. Does it ? Do you mean download calypso planner (where from?) and then buy it a license and usb stick only ?

[Ri...] Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Derek, if someone told you that you couldn't buy a Planner/Simulation seat without a machine, they were incorrect. This has never been the case. The "A" following your serial numbers on your offline seats serves no practical purpose other than record keeping in the license database. And just to be clear, there is no difference in the Calypso software that's on a machine versus an offline seat. The difference comes from the license file that "turns on" the Planner/Simulation functions on the offline station.

[De...] Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yeah, I did not mean to imply I didn't believe people, just that I had heard the same thing when I was asking about it back around 2010 or so. I never expected the software was any different and thought it seemed a rather arbitrary restriction. I always assumed it was some method to further lock down licensing to avoid pirated copies more than anything. It is good to hear its possible though.

[Ri...] Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 No worries Derek, back when I was working for Zeiss and doing a lot of phone support, these kinds of misunderstandings were all too common. My old reflex kicked in. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19564-calypso-offline/#findComment-109992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Please sign in to view this quote. That's correct, but standalone offline seats have their own serial number. No need for a physical machine just to get a serial. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19564-calypso-offline/#findComment-109994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Guys can you please help ? I have tried all possible ways to get an offline software and there is no chance. I have tried in Poland and I was told that if I have registered company in UK I need to contact UK. I would like to pay for the licence so I cannot see the way how you make so many problems Zeiss.. Is it possible to buy from aftermarket sales or from USA ? Can administrator help me ? I even tried ask my company where I am working at the moment if they can buy it and I will pay the money back, but they cannot do this because of company policy. Any ideas ? 😱 My email is danielstawiarz@gmail.com Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19564-calypso-offline/#findComment-109996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
