General Mach Discussion / Re: Is it possible to Upgrade the mach3 licence?

« on: July 20, 2023, 05:26:29 PM »

Thanks for your reply.
I gave it today another try and installed mach3 on a completly new Win7 System.

My purchased version runs with the supplied licence file, if I updated it to a higher version it switched into demo mode.
I tried everything you suggestet but it didn`t changed anything
It is a wellknown german reseller with a good screen set, so I asume it is a legal copy and license. Unfortunatly they don`t support Mach3 anymore.

Just to be clear, all Mach3 license files should unlock every version of Mach3 regardless where and when I bought it?

General Mach Discussion / Is it possible to Upgrade the mach3 licence?

« on: July 19, 2023, 10:56:13 AM »

Hello,

I`m using Mach3 R3.042.020 with a german screen set.

Now I`m trying to install an Ethernet SmoothStepper and a Pokeys 57U to my system. But I`m getting error messages all the time when I copied the plugins
into the mach3 folder.

So I tried a newer version of mach3 and all plugins worked perfectly. But now Mach3 is running in demo mode althougt I copied my mach1lic.dat into the mach3 folder.
Through internet research I found out that the older licence files can`t unlock the new mach3 versions.

Is there a way to upgrade/unlock the newer mach3 versions besides buying a completly new version?
