Why is it not possible any more?
Because the functionality TIMED OUT on the 1.1.2021 Would have been a licencing issue with ZF
- and Leica Geosystems knew that it would yet sold a product that had a grenade within. Yet, would not fix this. Required or ask $7,000 to upgrade - Hence the workaround.
Not impressed. As it worked fine for 8 years. Paid for in full. Only a few of us will be affected. But some of us build our business around this working.

Re: Looking for "all-in-one" software
I don't understand what their issue could be. We are using Cyclone 9.4 to process our Leica 6000 zfs scans.Leandre Robitaille wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 9:24 pm What happened with cyclone 9? Why can you simply not upgrade the license and keep on using it?
We certainly haven't been 'TIMED OUT' of any functionality.

Re: Looking for "all-in-one" software
My CYCLONE 9.1 Stopped allowing the import of .zfs files on return from the Christmas Break. After about 3 days of reinstalling - farting about - you can imagine all the things I tried. Finally having work to complete after 2020, and now NOT being able to continue was stressful (just a tiny wee bit)
My Leica Reseller here in NZ, made all sort of claims and ideas. Then came back to me with information from Leica in Germany.
That yes, I was correct. The function had stopped or TIMED OUT on the 1.1.2021. And no, there was no fix available or would be forthcoming.
The only fix was to upgrade at a cost of $7000 NZ$ - Both my Cyclone and TruView licences keys - much MORE if I wanted to upgrade MODEL.

Im not from Leica but yep. They all timed out - even the 2020 version, so I dont think Leica knew about it, I suspect it was the ZF sdk that had the said "grenade". I was given a hotfix which got mine going agin with our old steam driven HDS7000 and Cyclone 2020.1, but I had been hanging on to V9.4 for dear life as it was the last version that allowed window re-importing.
Cheers
