What is an Artcam Paf File and How to Install It?
An Artcam Paf File is a license file that is required to run Artcam, a software for designing and machining 2D and 3D models. Artcam Paf File contains information about the product version, features, and expiration date. Without a valid Artcam Paf File, you will not be able to use Artcam on your computer.

To install an Artcam Paf File, you need two things: a USB dongle and a PAF (*.paf) file. The USB dongle is a hardware device that plugs into your computer and acts as a security key. The PAF (*.paf) file is a software file that matches your USB dongle and activates your Artcam license.

There are two ways to install an Artcam Paf File on your computer:


Move the PAF (*.paf) file into one of these folders on your C drive: C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Delcam or C:\\dcam\\config\\pass. Note that the folder name is case sensitive and may vary depending on your software version and operating system. If you don't see a Delcam folder in the Common Files folder, you can create one and place the PAF (*.paf) file in it.
Open Artcam and wait for a message that says "Unable to Locate PAF (*.paf) file, Do you want to browse for it?". Click Yes and select the PAF (*.paf) file on your desktop. Artcam will install it into the correct location automatically.

After installing the Artcam Paf File, make sure that your USB dongle is plugged in to your computer and restart Artcam. You should be able to use Artcam without any problems.
