Transferring a SolidCAM/InventorCAM License to Another Computer

This guide outlines the 3-step process required to transfer your SolidCAM software license from your existing computer to a new one.

Step 1: Create a Fingerprint File on the New Computer

First, you must generate a unique identifier (fingerprint) for the computer that will be receiving the license.

  1. On the New Computer, navigate to Start ➔ All Programs ➔ SolidCAM ➔ Software license to open the License Wizard.
  2. Click on the Transfer license tab.
  3. Click the Generate fingerprint button and choose a secure location to save the .id file.

Step 2: Generate the License Transfer File on the Old Computer

Next, use the fingerprint file from the new computer to authorize the license release from the old computer.

  1. Copy the fingerprint file (.id) created in Step 1 over to the Old Computer (via USB drive, network share, or email).
  2. On the Old Computer, open the License Wizard (Start ➔ All Programs ➔ SolidCAM ➔ Software license).
  3. Click on the Transfer license tab.
  4. Select the option Another computer.
  5. Click the Select fingerprint file button and locate the .id file you copied from the New Computer.
  6. Click Transfer license and choose where you want to save the resulting host-to-host (.h2h) transfer file.

Step 3: Install the License Transfer File on the New Computer

Finally, apply the transfer file to the new computer to complete the activation.

  1. Copy the transfer file (.h2h) generated in Step 2 over to the New Computer.
  2. On the New Computer, open the License Wizard (Start ➔ All Programs ➔ SolidCAM ➔ Software license).
  3. Click on the Transfer license tab.
  4. Click the Activate license button, locate, and select the .h2h file.

    Note: Once this final step is complete, the license will be successfully deactivated on the Old Computer and fully operational on the New Computer.
