Support files (see the following image) include text files and exception logs. Mastercam Technical Support needs these files to understand your issue.

The Zip2Go Wizard creates the following reports in a read-only .TXT format:

Zip2Go_yourpartfilenamehere.txt

This report lists the files used by each machine group in the part file. For example:

• File name and path with date and time
• Version of Mastercam you are using, and units of measure
• Default and operation files (including Wire power library files)
• Mill, Router, and Lathe custom tooling

Zip2Go_SystemReport.txt

This report contains information about the computer on which the package was created. For example:

• The version of Microsoft Windows
• The amount of RAM
• Information about the graphics card
• Information about your monitors and their resolution
• Registry settings used by Mastercam (the Mastercam registry keys under HKCU and HKLM)

Zip2Go_FileReport.txt

This report lists all the files in your Mastercam installation. The Mill, Lathe, Router, and Wire folders (and their sub-folders) in the Mastercam install folder (Mastercam 2026.R2) are not scanned. Furthermore, part files found in any folder that is scanned will not be included in this list. This ensures that the gathered data never includes potentially confidential information.

Zip2Go_HASP.txt

This report contains information from the Mastercam HASP on all the files for Mastercam, including the HASP serial number and the products licensed on the HASP. It also detects if Mastercam CONNECT is active, and if so, the report includes the Mastercam CONNECT expiration date.
