Connecting a different computer to an existing CMM setup

[[An...]]

Our computer for one of our CMMs died yesterday and we are trying to connect an offline programming laptop to the CMM. The laptop has Calypso and I downloaded and activated a full Claypso license, it is no longer an offline seat of Calypso. The issue we have right now is that the laptop cannot make a connection to the CMM and I am not able to create a new CMM in Calypso. Any help would be appreciated!

Offline license alone is not enough to run CMM.

If you have USB dongle with license file backup from old one, then you can transfer it to laptop.

You must set IP address for NIC card that is plugged into the Zeiss machine must be 192.4.1.199, submask 255.255.255.0. after setting up communication network. don't forget to bring dongle usb device from your old pc to plug into your laptop.

I do have the USB dongle on the laptop and I have the online license activated. I should be good to go but its only showing ACCURA1_RDS which is the name of our offline machine. It wont let me add our actual ACCURA, the add button is greyed out.

Hi Andrew,

To create a new machine tab, type in a new name and then hit ENTER. This will activate the "Add" button.

you have to name your machine name first then keyboard Tab it will show ADD

Additionally, you'll need to review your licenses, either in Zeiss License Management Tool, or Extras > Settings > Misc > Licenses to see if you have a CNC license. if you do not have one, that seat of CALYPSO cannot run a CMM

What i saw on our setup, we had definitions in "hosts" file.

Somewhere should be setted ip address for your machine, because you have to set it on your pc.
