Known Issues:

·        Problem: User receives error message “The program can’t start because WIBUCM32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.” when running MastercamDotComLinking.exe.

Solution: Wibu CodeMeter is not installed on the system attempting to generate the linking code. This is installed by default on Mastercam X7 and later but is not included with previously release versions. The installation can be found onhttps://www.mastercam.com/en-us/Support-Downloads-Drivers-and-Applets. Be sure to select the correct OS-specific version (32- or 64-bit.)

·        Problem: User running a NetHASP cannot generate a linking code using MastercamDotComLinking.exe.

Solution: Users that require the use of nethasp.ini will not be able to generate a linking code for Mastercam.com if MastercamDotComLinking.exe is not run from the root directory of the Mastercam installation, which is C:\program files\mcamx? (? Denotes version of Mastercam X being used to generate the code). To solve this:

1.      Download MastercamDotComLinking.exe fromhttps://www.mastercam.com/en-us/Support-Downloads-Drivers-and-Applets.

2.      Place the executable in the root directory of the Mastercam installation.

Run MastercamDotComLinking.exe from this location. The linking code should be generated successfully.
