Glad we could get you up and running again - Will be happy to work out the kinks for you once you have completed your urgent projects.Jamesrye wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 2:15 pm Thanks for the help there Matt. The HDS support got the new version running for us on our desktop PC, so that's good.
Still having issues on the laptop, but got the old version running. I'll try again when this job that I'm working on is out of the way. I think the problem is the older version of the CLM.

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
If you are using a dealer license, which I believe you are, please return the license and re-activate it. Does this help?Stelios K. wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 5:53 am Good morning to all,
Yesterday it was a really frustrating day. The story..
I received my desktop after format and some upgrades (cpu, gpu). I had returned EIDs (survey, register)
The IT assigned the desktop to the company domain.
I run the .exe to install Cyclone 9.2. As the licenses are floating I choose "get licenses from a server" even if CLM for floating licenses would be installed on this desktop.
Then I installed CLM.
Cyclone was unable to locate licenses and I was getting the message in the beginning "this is the viewer version, uninstall it to work with a license version".
I uninstalled Cyclone and reinstall it. I tried to define the Server Host. I tried with @localhost, localhost, @HDS7, HDS7 (HDS7 is the name of the computer). Nothing happened. Borrow licenses is ticked by the way.
CLM server is running. I did some refreshes and stop-start.
I contacted Leica and I was informed that I should have:
1. Install CLM as admin, reboot.
2. Install Cyclone as admin, reboot.
3. Activate the EIDs.
4. Start Cyclone.
So I returned the EIDs, uninstalled Cyclone, CLM and any Leica licensing app I could locate via control panel, performed the steps above and I faced again a not licensed Cyclone. In the message says also to check license.err.
Maybe I have an issue connected with the assignment of the computer to company domain?
Another detail is that after re-installing the additional choices (@HDS7, HDS7) remain in the definition of the Server Host. I would suspect that something remains even if I performed the installation and possibly causes the problem.
Any idea/help is most welcomed!

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
What is the scan density setting? How much is you computer's memory? If scan density is very high (e.g 0.8 mm at 10m), Cyclone requires a lot of memory.Matt Young wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 2:43 pm I hope you get it all up and running.
The one day each year when I change to a major version of Cyclone is my most hated day. Time is money and we are not generally paid to test software installations.
BTW - 9.2 just crashed while writing this, importing P40 data in safe mode... I hope that version 9.2.1 will fix this and it will be like it never happened

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
We have never scanned at resolutions that high. These scans are generally medium density. It turns out that one scan did not want to import. I imported the remaining scans one at a time.Yuelin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:27 pmWhat is the scan density setting? How much is you computer's memory?

Cyclone 9.2 in general is far more unstable than previous versions. I see no reason for it to be using lots of memory in so called 'safe mode'. Occasional Cyclone just stops working as well - can be anything, such as working in a registration or simply using a model space. But I suspect it's my computer and not such an amazing program like Cyclone
If you don't see that there is nothing, then you are kidding yourself.

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
I had this yesterday with 9.2, just froze whilst opening a modelspace. Thought it was due to some MS updates coming down for WIN10.Matt Young wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2017 7:44 am Occasional Cyclone just stops working as well - can be anything, such as working in a registration or simply using a model space.

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
I'm still using Win7 so it could be that?

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
Crikey, I just got into the office and 9.2 is a nightmare for us. It's laggy with the graphics, point clouds disappear and it's freezing up. We're still using Windows 7, but hopefully this isn't the issue.
Once again, the help desk have solved the problem. They logged in and completely removed Cyclone and then reinstalled. Works like a charm now.

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
Why do users collectively accept uninstalling and re-installing software so frequently as a normal thing?
I wonder how much time has been lost over the years globally of this happening?
I know it's the only way to resolve issues in many instances but it just seems to be a process that we all too readily accept and seem happy to have our problems fixed.
This is in no way a dig at one company, it seems to be the same for most, if not all, scanning software.
I wonder legally where software companies sit in respect of downtime on projects if their users have followed all recommended hardware and install procedures from the vendors.
................ Maybe I've been changed due to working for a main contractor now
This thought process arose from a recent conversation based on translation between different grid systems.
If there is an error found after carrying out a translation using some software, where does the liability lay? Is it with the user/company handing data to the client or the software author company?

Re: Cyclone 9.2 licensing issues
I suspect that the software authors as a whole know very little about the time spent by users. I'm not saying they are ignorant of it, just that they have very different objectives, day to day.Oatfedgoat wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2017 1:50 pm Why do users collectively accept uninstalling and re-installing software so frequently as a normal thing?

I guess that the care packages we pay for cover the time spent by the software vendor... Started to get my conspiracy brain working there. If the software is complicated then people will need to help with it! (no, surely that can't be the case )
