You can stick with your current FastCAM® software, but please be aware that there is a hardware incompatibility between the Dallas keys and Windows 7.
So if you want to change your Windows Operating System to Windows 7, you should contact us BEFORE you make any changes.
This will also mean that you will need to upgrade your software to FastCAM® 7 to run under Windows 7 and we will provide a new technology key with the upgrade.
While there are many new features, FastCAM® 7 is fully backward compatible with earlier versions.
In any upgrade, it is also critically important that you backup your existing FastCAM setup files, NC machine files, control settings etc, before you install any new software.
BEFORE upgrading your Computer to Windows7, we recommend that you:
- Contact FastCAM Chicago on phone 312-715-1535 to confirm compatibility.
- If you are unsure how to save your PC & NC settings, send an EMAIL to FastCAM Service and ask for instructions.
- Use the Service Email function within FastCAM (v5+) as described in the PDF below. This automatically archives your FastCAM settings by creating a zip file.
