3 Requesting licence data
Software copy protection Activation code

3 Requesting licence data

3.1 Software copy protection
OPEN MIND software and CAD interfaces are copy-protected by means of the Codemeter
dongle from the company WIBU Systems. For local licensing, each computer requires a sep-
arate dongle. It must be plugged into a USB interface. The dongle number is located on the
socket of the dongle. It has the structure 2-XXXXXXXX. The activation code and dongle
number are not identical.
hyperCAD 2009.3 and hyperCAD 2009.3 Geometric Engine are protected by means of a
computer ID.

Previously used dongles continue to be used in parallel. This is necessary, for

example, for licensing postprocessors, for older hyperMILL versions and is also
required for existing hyperCAD installations, including the *.e3 CAD data for-
mat.

3.2 Licences

3.2.1 Activation code

The licence management can be implemented independently of the production environment.
The range of licensed products per dongle can be tailored with the OPEN MIND Licence
Manager according to your requirements, for example, by porting 5X functionality to another
editor or to the product extension. In such a case, it is not necessary to replace the dongle.
A licence is the right to use OPEN MIND software such as hyperMILL or components.
An activation code allows for one or several licences to be activated or deactivated on a don-
gle and is not tied to any specific dongle. Activated products on a (randomly selected) dongle
are always tied to their activation codes. The activation code is supplied by e-mail.
The purpose of a return is to modify the scope of the OPEN MIND software in use on a don-
gle, for example, when changing the software package from ‘Classic’ to ‘Expert’. The soft-
ware package is returned to the activation code and can then be adjusted by OPEN MIND.
The use of a licence server requires a network licence.

3.2.2 Licence for hyperCAD/Geometric Engine

You can obtain the licence for hyperCAD by sending an e-mail containing your computer ID
to [email protected].
To retrieve the computer ID, after installing hyperCAD, start the hyperCAD Licence Manager
software from the Windows Start menu under OPEN MIND > hyperCAD > 2009.3 > Auxiliary
functions. On the Edit menu, use the Copy computer ID function to determine the ID and
copy it to the Windows clipboard.
There is no network licensing for hyperCAD.

face.

6.4 Network licence and licence server

On the Options tab, select the Use this computer as a licence server option if the computer is
to be used as a licence server on the local network.
To select this option, you must have administrator rights.
Use the Use licences from a server option if you want to access a network licence. An avail-
able licence server is accessed automatically via Locate licence server automatically. Enter
a server with its IP address or name manually in Server name if the Use a specific licence
server option is to be used.
To configure these settings, you must have administrator rights.

You must start the Licence Manager with administrator rights, for example,
using the Run as administrator Windows function. For this purpose, select
LicenseManager.exe in the program directory and right-click to open the Win-
dows shortcut menu.

If you are working with network licences, specify a product that is to be started regularly on
the computer on the Options tab under Select base product. Otherwise, where available and
permitted, the local dongle will be evaluated or the most extensive product package availa-
ble on the network will be started (Automatic selection).
You can use Additional client info to store a note (for example, phone number and e-mail
address) that is displayed for every user when a licence server is used.
Reload on the Dongle/Licence server tab starts a new search for available dongles and
licence servers. Group list by users sorts the list of products in such a way that the products
currently in use are shown as being allocated to the users. The status bar displays informa-
tion on the settings of the local computer.
Proxy authentication
If you use an Internet proxy with authentication in your company, you must enter the User
name and Password for the proxy on the Options tab in order to activate the licences.
Afterwards, you can log in using the Logon to proxy button. On successful login, the user
name and password are locked for editing and the Activation code tab of the Licence Man-
ager is unlocked.
When an Internet proxy with authentication is used, the activation codes are not stored on
the system and are also not loaded when the Licence Manager is started. They must be
entered separately each time a licence is changed.

6.5 Specify warning period

On the Options tab, you can use the Warning period option to specify how many days in
advance you wish to be notified of licences that are going to expire. By default, you will
receive a warning 14 days before a licence expires.
To change this setting, you must have administrator rights.

 Administrator manual
hyperCAD Introduction 8
8 Administrator manual
8.1 Introduction
The following section describes the process of installing and configuring OPEN MIND prod-
ucts from an administrator's point of view. For a better understanding, a detailed knowledge
of Microsoft Windows administration is recommended.
OPEN MIND products are generally installed in large-scale IT infrastructures by network and
system administrators. They have in-depth knowledge of how Microsoft Windows computers
and networks are administered.
This document shows how to install and configure the software on more than one computer
and provides details on integration into the existing infrastructure.

8.2 Installation
OPEN MIND products can be installed as standalone installations in a menu-supported man-
ner or unsupervised. Both methods require you to follow a specific sequence. To be able to
install hyperMILL, a CAD platform must always already be in place on the system. Therefore,
if hyperMILL is not integrated into Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks, you must first install
hyperCAD or hyperCAD-S together with hyperMILL.
As the standalone installation has already been sufficiently documented in the installation
instructions, this part focuses on unsupervised installation.

8.2.1 hyperCAD
The hyperCAD installation technology is InstallShield with InstallScript. The package can be
installed unsupervised if an answer file was previously generated as part of a reference
installation. This answer file is then used for the automatic installation and has the file exten-
sion .iss.
Start the reference installation with the following command line:
Setup.exe -a -r -f1 <path to answer file>
The installation is configured in the same way that the target computers are to be configured
later on. InstallShield records all responses during the reference installation in the answer
file.
Copy the answer file thus created together with the other files of the product DVD to the net-
work area from which you want to distribute the unsupervised installation. At the very least,
you will need the hyperCAD and Data directories from the product DVD. The answer file is
placed in the hyperCAD folder.
Once everything is prepared, you can start the installation on the target system using the fol-
lowing command line:
setup.exe -a -s -f1 <answer file>
hyperCAD is now installed in the same way as during the reference installation.
On 64-bit systems, the hyperCAD installation does not come with a dongle driver. A 64-bit
version of the Eutron and HASP dongle driver is included on the product DVD in the directo-
ries under Drivers.
The User Account Control has to be deactivated for the hyperCAD installation.

8.2.2 hyperMILL
The installation of hyperMILL can only be carried out once a CAD system has been installed.
hyperMILL is an MSI-based installation that can use different public properties with which to
configure the hyperMILL installation.

Property Values Description

INSTALLDIR Path The target path of the installation. The default value is <Pro-
grams>\OPEN MIND. Subfolders are created automatically.

guage

The option is added to the installation start as follows:

setup.exe /silent OPTION="VALUE"

8.3 Security settings

hyperMILL was developed to allow users to work with power user rights. If it becomes neces-
sary to run hyperMILL with limited rights, some security settings will have to be adjusted.

8.4 File system settings

During operation, hyperMILL stores temporary data in the Global working space. To ensure
that hyperMILL can be started, grant hyperMILL users full access to the global working
space.
Global settings (such as the licence configuration) are stored under All users\Application
data\OPEN MIND. Users require read access. To configure licences, they will also need
write permissions.

8.4.1 Registry
hyperMILL uses temporary ODBC connections to address databases. For such connections
to be generated, hyperMILL users require additional registry rights in HKEY_LOCAL_MA-
CHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC. Set precisely the same rights that also apply to power users.
Full access is not required here.

8.4.2 Use of software guidelines

hyperCAD uses the registry to manage the user configuration. Please ensure that rege-
dit.exe is not prohibited by a use of software guideline.

8.4.3 Postprocessors in network environments

OPEN MIND recommends that postprocessors, machine definitions and machine models be
managed in the same location in a uniform manner. A network folder for shared use will be
sufficient. You should structure the files by function (MDF, MMF, ...).
Please always remember to back up the files before you modify them. If problems occur, this
will allow you to restore the old data.
Pay attention to network quality, failures and speed if you run the postprocessors via the net-
work. Executing program code via the network is time-critical. If there are problems with the
speed of the network or if packets are dropped, this may cause serious faults in the software.
This may involve crashes or destroyed model data, for example. If your network experiences
one of the above problems, you should consider installing the postprocessors locally.
The postprocessor files should be limited to read-only access. This applies both to *.oma
and the special .def as well as user-defined .txt files (to the extent that they are postproces-
sor-relevant). You should appoint a person to be in charge of maintaining these files and
only assign write permissions to this person.

8.5 Registry
There are registry keys that affect the behaviour of hyperMILL during the installation or the
first application start.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OPEN MIND\...
