OK
I am new here and could sure use some help. I have been using Mach 3 for 5 years on a CNCRPTs 48 96 pro machine. great results. as a point of reference, I am an artist, not and computer wizard... so setting this all up 5 years ago almost killed me.
Two weeks ago my laptop died. resulted in complete loss of all loaded Mach 3 lic. info. I did save all my 3D CNC folders but could not restart Mach 3.
Yesterday I paid for a new Mach 4 license from AVID so it was formatted for my machine. got Mach 4 uploaded and configured, than entered into the licensing step. Made a sad error there. when they asked for my machines ID, I loaded in my laptops ID . they sent me the license file to turn on the MACH 4 Hobby. Sadly I found out at that moment that I should have found the PC ID for the Mach 4 apparently. ( found this about 5 screens further on in the instructions)
So now I have a license file that is no good. Can I simple open up that text file and add in the correct PC ID from Mach 4. Or am I am I stuck waiting for Mach to answer my groveling emails to allow me to restart this long, painful process.
THe other question I have has to do with the screen view. When I do open up mach 4 the headers are about a size .005 font. I can not see them even with x 4 glasses on. will this be corrected when the license is loaded in? ARGGGHHH.
