The file based method for temporary CAMworks licenses has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer. Moving forward all temp licenses will be in the form of an online activation code.
Note: The online activation license method (FNO) is compatible with CAMWorks 2022 and newer. Customers using older versions of the software who need to use a temp license will need to update their software prior to implementing a temporary license.
Note: Temporary online activation codes are always "standalone" type and can not be used on server machines. If you currently use a network license the temporary license will need to be implemented at each client machine.
Note: Temporary online activation codes MUST be deactivated regardless of expiration status prior to reverting to the permanent license. Failure to deactivate the temp license will result in abnormal license behavior when switching back to the permanent license type.
