Offline Licence

We bought an offline seat for our Romer arm.

I entered the licence code from the entitlement certificate.

When I try to open an existing program, all the points that were taken with the RS1 laser show up in red in the edit window and PC DMIS tells me that my portlock settings do not allow use of this probe type. See screen shot below. Also if I try to start a new program and load the RS1 laser, it tells me the same thing.

I contacted tech support and they told me: Go to the computer that has the Online version of PCDMIS and copy all of the *.prb files from the folder:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\WAI\PC-DMIS\2014.1 to a memory stick.

Take that memory stick to your Offline computer and paste the files into the same folder.

When you open a part program in PCDMIS you should be able to select the probes that got put in that folder.



The probes were already in that directory because I have been programming offline on this computer by using the physical portlock for several months now. I responded to tech support telling them this and now I haven't heard back from them in two days.

Does anyone have any other ideas? I think the licence code they gave isn't correct or something like that?

  • I vaguely remember something about appending -RDSRomer or some such to the file name inside of the properties of the .exe. Have you looked into that? (Is it even still a thing? I dunno).

    It could also be possible that you did not end up with a 'portable' license? I know the software is not different, so it might be that your license has the wrong permissions?


    The Software Entitlement Certificate states "PC-DMIS Interface - Romer RDS ( ARM ) " Wouldn't tech support be able to tell me if I have the wrong permissions? That is what it sounds like to me. It has been two days since I last heard from them. I don't know about the -RDSRomer thing you mention above....I never needed anything like that when I had the portlock plugged in.
