3 shape stand alone seat

[Adigitalsmile]

Is there the option to purchase a 3 shape design seat away from scanner? Either to take home work and design or to pull work from ftp site and design? What do you think the cost would be for the software and then yearly renewal fees?

you could set up a remote connection so that your programs all run from the one computer, but that will have slow and poor rendering. worth a shot. for this you will need a static IP, so contact an IT freelancer in your area to set this up.

That's how I am currently doing it and the lag time is not efficient. Would be nice to just have the software separate.

install the software on your home PC and bring the dongle home...

but how can you get your scans what are in the lab computer?

thumb drive, removable HDD.. etc. I move all my scans over to my milling PC on a USB stick.. The files arent that big. Get a nice carrying case for your USBs and take em home!

Is there a way to take the dongle home for designing and not render the scanner useless? My employee could be scanning while I am away with the dongle. It would be nice for 3 shape to allow the scanner to scan while your designing away from the lab.

No, scanserver will not run without a dongle. You can always get a hardlock copy of your dongle made.. for security purposes of course!

 

[2th-man]

Can you recommend a company that can do this?

 

[Affinity]

'Companies' that do dongle emulation are dodgy at best.. most in russia probably. Cant say I would recommend it.. but it is possible. Search hasp dongle emulator. Always good to have a backup. there is also software to allow you to do it yourself.. if you know where to look.

Scanserver work without dongle . (you can calibrate the scan without dongle)
The dongle must be in the DentalManager pc and you can put the two pcs network for scanning on a pc and design to another.

Ok the scanserver maybe works for calibration, but the scanit restoration program wont open without dongle.. The point is to be able to do it at home.. I wouldnt know how to network two pcs in two different locations to use one dongle... I know its been touched on here before..

Just remote into your desktop at work...that way you don't loose or damage the dongle.

Just make sure you have good internet at home and have the same resolution set up

at home.

welcome back Kent, hows the wee berne ?

 

[KentPWalton]

Thanks CHL! She's doing great. She's here healthy and growing.

The remote desktop connection is not seamless you tend to lose fpm on the rendering and slow to design. Would be nice if vendors offer just the software design seat that you could just design without a scanner.

Setup a VPN but have a really good Upload speed on your internet connection. If you have 2mb upload speed it's going to be terrible. You need at least 5mb and even then the Dental Manager can be slow and there can occasionalyl be a slight delay when you are designing.


I would try upgrading your internet and see if that helps, It did for me.

 

[JohnWilson]

Its still glitchy using Team Viewer at times and the big cases are just very frustrating. I have 300/300 service at both my home and office and just remoting in has been a good and bad thing. I am looking for other options as well.

 

[Adigitalsmile]

Do any of the distributors offer software only. Where you could keep all your files on a ftp sites or central server on network. Then export all files and import from home to design or on a plane or sandy beach with a cocktail in hand?

 

[KentPWalton]

I wonder if the re-seller could get a duplicate dongle and charge a fee for it so someone can design from home if they wanted to. It would be tied into their current dongle.

Hey SAM!! Do you think this is possible?
