Title: Mach3, Mill Wizard not seeing license
Post by: Robaroni on January 06, 2014, 08:46:03 AM

Hi,
I'm running Mach3 on my Win7 laptop and just installed NFS Mill Wizard. I seem to be having  a couple of problems.
One, Mach3 keeps telling me that Mill Wizard is unlic., which it's not. If I bring up the Mill wizard it shows my license as good. I tried to put a copy of the lic. in my Mach3 folder as "MillWizardlic.dat" but M-3 still doesn't recognize it.

The other problem I'm having is in Mill Wizard itself. If I start a new job, say a drill pattern, it doesn't show up on the blue screen in Wizard. I tried reloading the program but no good.

Latest version of Mill Wizard as of 1/5/14.

Thanks for your help,
Rob

Hi Rob,
there are two different Wizards. The NFS Wizards within Mach3 and the NFS Mill Wizard whitch is a stand alone program for the moment.
You need a seperate license file if you want to use the NFS Wizards within Mach3. In other words everything is ok.

To your problem, fist have a look if the tooltable is in the right location. Config --> tooltable
If not browse to it.

Try opening the simple testfile I have atached

Alex,
Thanks, that helped a lot.
The mistake I made was that IO wasn't creating a 'real' Gcode operation just checking the software (trying to engrave with a 1.75mm end mill!)

I get  message when I try to "save and load" stating that "Mach4 is busy" but I'm using Mach3 and it'as not.

Also, isn't this the NFS Mill Wizard I purchased the license for?

I have a separate license and it isn’t working after having to do a clean install of windows7. Checked and both .dat files are in the folder. A week lost over glitches and issues with this software.

Uguessedit,

Are you referring to Mill Wizard or the Mach3 Addons?
