Chris, Start by checking the SmartCAM.ini file for the CFGPath in the Defaults section:
[Defaults] CFGPath=C:\Sm9CFG\HOME That's where SmartCAM is looking for the pmill.ini file Then check the Keydir in the Smartcam ElanLM section: [SmartCAM ElanLM] Keydir=\Sm9CFG\KEYDIR That's where SmartCAM is looking for the license key information. Then check the path Win.ini file for the Keydirectory in the ElanLM section: [ElanLM] Keydirectory=C:\SM9CFG\KEYDIR That's where the Elan license manager is looking for the license key information (unless you're using the NLM). I hope this helps. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.highsteel.com <http://www.highsteel.com/> ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 9:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Can't activate new license key Importance: High Hi all, I received our new license key (thank you for the many responses), but now am having trouble activating it. Every person in our company network has their own profile setup. The replacement pc is running Win2000 Pro. I'm not sure which user was logged on when our IT dept. installed SmartCam. When we try to run the License key administrator, we get an error. After looking through the hard drive, I noticed that pmill.ini, and licadm.ini are nowhere to be found. Obviously, this is due to SmartCam being installed under a user other than the current one; it doesn't show up under the current user's profile. I copied the "default" directory (the one containing the .ini files) from another pc, and I could then run the license key program. But it won't allow me to save it, stating that it cannot find the file on one of our network drives. I don't know which configuration file points to the license key, so, I couldn't try editing that. I had a similar problem a while back with a re-install of SmartCam, where it wouldn't run and I had to edit the "default" section of smartCam.ini to point to pmill.ini, but this situation is different. Can anyone give me some guidelines as to how we should be logged on this pc, or any pc with Win2K, when we install SmartCam, so that any user profile can program? Or can you give me a work around? Our IT dept. will not allow us to run the pc under administrator, so that's not an option. Thanks in advance. Sorry for the long read. Chris Kocourek Tool Design Engineer FLEXTRONICS
