We got our cnc table set up and ready to go but every time we go to load a gcode into Mach and run it, it gets half done and then the code ends. I have no idea why, the company we bought our machine from thought it was a registration issue with the software so they sent us a new code but it is still happening. ???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mandy

They shouldn't be sending you a new license if one doesn't work. Who'd you get the license from, and is there a name on the license?

We got our machine from Lightning CNC. The license was in the wrong folder so the program didn't recognize it. But we are still having issues loading the .tap files into Mach3. Some of them only half load others wont load at all then others load but are so tiny there is not way to use them.
-
When they don't load, is there an error message?
Post one program that you're having trouble with and explain what the problem is with that particular program?

Hi, Another new guy,
I am having problems loading demo files on mach3. it only loads half the code. Initially I thought it is the demo thing, so I bought a licence, My name shows up when I check in mach help menu. So it is licensed. Still the problem is there. So I uninstalled and re installed, no joy, still only loads half a file. What can the problem be. One of the files in question is the collet spanner file that comes with mach.

Did you purchase your license direct from Artsoft /NFS or from somewhere else ??

i am having the same issues only a portion of the gcode loads up when I load it but that's when the parallel drivers are installed when i uninstall mach3 and install it again without the parallel driver then the entire gcode loads. Any help would be appreciated.

Without the licence file installed Mach3 operates in Demo mode. It will only run the first 500 lines of Gcode with the parallel port drivers installed - purchasing and installing the Mach3 license file removes this restriction.

Idiots curently selling pirated licences on eBay if anyone wants to get them removed

I to have the same problem with my system. It only cut 500 lines even though it is licensed, I bought the license from the mach3 website. It comes up as licensed with my name
but still only 500 lines. I can disable the port and it sets all lines but won't cut any thing. Enable and it runs as demo but it is licensed.

This is a licencing issue. Contact Artsoft.

This .pdf gives an explanation regarding license installation; ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/Extra%20Information/Mach3%20License%20install%201.pdf (ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/Extra%20Information/Mach3%20License%20install%201.pdf)

Hi Roger,
I was in two minds about posting it as ftp:// links work for some and not for others. :'(
(You can get the .pdf by going to the .ftp downloads area http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/ , it is listed under Extra Information).

You could perhaps try resetting your DNS Server.

My system must be locking out whatever response the FTP side of things is getting. No idea why.
Maybe an adblocker and a cookie filter?
