Re: Inventor HSM Express across multiple user accounts
While I can't answer your question directly, I will say that FRC teams are eligible for a full version of HSMworks for Solidworks, so the same is probably true for Inventor. I contacted them a couple months ago and they gave me a license code. It works fine on my computer, and they seemed to indicate the license could be used to install the software on our lab computers as well.

We have used Visual Mill for the past three years, but I was considering switching over to HSMworks because their toolpaths make more sense for our CNC mill. After testing our both programs, I'm still undecided. There are things that Visual Mill does better, and there are things that HSMworks does better. What is your impression of HSMexpress?
