Common Questions
Can I install over an existing version?
Yes. Each version is a standalone install and can be installed without removing the previous version, but always review the installation guide for version-specific recommendations.
Do I need to download new hardware key drivers?
Generally no, if you already have the hardware key drivers installed you will not need to install new drivers. Install updated Sentinel drivers only if recommended by CAMCO Support or if you experience hardware key detection issues.
Which Network License Server should I download?
For the system acting as your server, use the Reprise RLM server for GibbsCAM 2024 and newer. Earlier GibbsCAM releases may require the legacy CimLM server. Verify your version before downloading.
