Software Calypso CMM and an Offline station on one PC

[[Lu...]]

Hello,

I have a question.

Can I have Calypso software CMM and an Offline station on one PC?

[[No...]]

I think yes, but you probably can't use both in parallel. The CNC and the Planner licenses are mutually exclusive as far as I know. That means you can have both licenses installed (e.g. on the same dongle), but only one of them can be active at a time. So to switch between them, you need to activate one license and deactivate the other.

^This. I added planner to one of my licenses, for an old retrofit CMM that we retired. It gets used occasionally for STL files, which requires CNC. I have to disable planner and enable the CNC license to do the STL Import machine.

In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to have both on one computer.

 I think Calypso won't start for second time. But I don't know that.

I used to do this 20+ years ago on a Mitutoyo running MS-COSMOS. We had 4 parts every morning come off a 5-axis machine, and each program took 4 minutes to run. during that time, I also had to program a part coming off the mills at about noon. We didn't yet have CAD, though...
