What do you need to download before getting started
FARO Connect:
FARO Connect 2024.4 (Release notes)
Flyability Script Installer:
Install FARO Connect
Open FARO Connect Licensing Manager
Click on the Activate tab
Paste the Activation license code provided to you by email from Flyability:
Click on the Activate button.
Your FARO Connect Software is now activated.
Close the FARO Connect software.
The Flyability script enables the processing of Elios 3 LiDAR data on FARO Connect, if you haven't already downloaded it, please download from here.
Run the Faro.FlyabilityScriptInstallerVx.x.x.exe (if needed, right-click and use “Run as administrator”)
Start Connect
From the login page select Get Started to create a new Sphere XG account (former GeoSLAM Connect accounts are no longer valid):
Then select EU Server if in Europe or select COM Server if you are in any other part of the world, as shown below.
Then enter your information to create an account. You will then have to name your workspace, which has to be a unique name, so you may have to try a few times if the name you pick is already taken.
Important: Please check your mailbox for a "Welcome to FARO Sphere XG" email (from the support@holobuilder.com address) and click "Verify email address" in order to activate your FARO Connect account.
Important Notice!
On the first start of FARO Connect, you will be prompted to “MIGRATE” all your previous projects. This will DOUBLE all the files previously created with GeoSLAM Connect (such as .geoslam files, and .LAZ), so only do the migration if you need to further use the old projects in FARO Connect, and if you have enough disk space available!
