CAM Assist is licensed per user (per seat): each person who uses it needs their own license, linked to the email they sign in with. The account owner adds users and moves licenses between people in the CloudNC Portal.
Can several people share one license?
No. Several people can't use CAM Assist under one license at the same time. Sharing a license breaches the fair usage policy. You can read the fair usage policy and the other CAM Assist terms in the EULA on the CloudNC website.
If several programmers use CAM Assist, buy a license for each of them. See How to buy CAM Assist (demos, pricing, resellers and education licenses).
Who can manage users and licenses?
Only the account owner: the primary billing contact, who receives the invoices. They sign in to the CloudNC Portal to make changes. Other users can't.
Add a user
- Sign in to the CloudNC Portal as the account owner.
- Select the box with your subscription details.
- Add the email address of each new user.
The new user then:
- Installs CAM Assist for their CAM package on their computer. See the install article for your CAM package, for example Install CAM Assist for Mastercam.
- Starts CAM Assist and signs in with the email address that was added.
Reassign a license to someone else
- Sign in to the CloudNC Portal as the account owner.
- Select the box with your subscription details.
- Change the license email to the email of the person who should have the license.
The new person signs in to CAM Assist with that email. To sign out on a shared computer first, see Log out of CAM Assist or sign in with a different email.
To move your own license to a new computer, you don't need to reassign it: sign in there with the same email. See Move CAM Assist to a new computer.
The license email must match the sign-in email
CAM Assist checks for a subscription on the email you sign in with. If the license is on a different email, CAM Assist shows "There is no active CAM Assist subscription associated with this email address." On that screen, click here to manage your access email. opens the CloudNC Portal. See Check your CAM Assist subscription.
To see which email you're signed in with, open Account > My Account. See The My Account window.
Can I license CAM Assist for a single project?
No. CAM Assist isn't available on project-based licenses. All subscriptions are for a fixed period.
