Can I use BLK360 with any leica software?

Post by juncheol »

Hi all,

I have a BLK 360 G1 and no more license available leica software so expensive.
So I feel like my BLK 360 G1 is ornament.
Can I use my ornament with leica software? like reg 360 or cyclone.

I have a Recap and FJD trion METAHUB (metahub is mobile laser scanner software like reg 360 and it can read E57, las, pts, xyz...)

If you only want to handle blk data then you can use register360 blk edition if it is still available after this your licensing restructure.

Of course you can use any register 360 version, just the blk is cheaper but cannot import anything other than blk360g1,blk360g2,blk2go, blk2fly and blkarc.

If it is still way out of your league. In the latest field360 makes possible to export standard formats, and you can register them elsewhere. But i'd not recommend this route unless there is no other way.

I'm having the same issue with a perfectly working piece of hardware in the BLK360 Gen1. When we got it a few years ago the workflow was great:
Scan with Recap Mobile then transfer and align to Recap on the desktop. Now , Recap for Mobile is canceled, BLK Live does not talk to the Gen1, and Register 360 BLK version is $2,300 a year which is about $190 a month as opposed to Recap Pro which was $40 a month. That's an almost 5x increase.
If someone paid $20k for a piece of hardware, shouldn't they at least be able to get the most basic functionality out of it?

You could rent a 1 year Cyclone FIELD 360 BLK Edition license... and register and export to E57 from there?
