Licensing information

Following are some basic facts about licensing dentalcam & dentalcnc 7:

  • dentalcam & dentalcnc no longer use dongles.
  • dentalcam & dentalcnc require a license key to function properly. The license is bound to the machine (control unit) in which the applications were licensed. Therefore, you need a license key for every machine.
  • A free license is also required if you only use dentalcnc.
  • You will still need the old dongle if you want to work with dentalcam 6.
  • dentalcam 7 requires a new installation. There is no direct update option. You can use Version 6 and 7 on the same computer and import the blank archive from Version 6 into Version 7.

New machines already have the license keys stored on their control unit. Therefore, entering the license key manually only applies to machines from 2016 and older.

If no license key is stored on the connected machine, you can start up to 50 jobs before dentalcnc will no longer manufacture blanks. In this case, dentalcnc will tell you how many jobs are left before the demo period ends when you start machining.

  • Use the demo period to obtain a license key.

Version 6 and version 7 of both applications use a different data structure and are therefore incompatible.
