Title: License questions
Post by: TOTALLYRC on November 05, 2016, 09:17:37 AM
How does one license Mach4 on a machine they intend to sell and not have it count to their license limit.
Can I license it to a Happy Mach user or something?

I assume that you are delivering a machine to a customer who plans to provide
their own computer.

In this case you can purchase and deliver a coupon code and allow the end
customer to "purchase" his license on the MachSupport web site using the
coupon code as payment.

Hi Steve,
I actually have a D&M (Sherline based) mill and lathe that will come complete with computer, monitor, and keyboard. This way it is all setup and should make it easier on the end user.

I will not be doing this enough to be come a dealer but every once in a while  I will retrofit something and would like to be able to sell it as a turnkey package.

May be of target but could you not install the demo version set it all up as a turn key job and let the new owner get a licence in there own name

So in effect you can test it for your client

Just me thinking out loud

Hi Stuart,
I could do that but I am trying to make the process for the new owner as painless as possible. If the new owner is local then I can just drive over and help him setup. If I wind up shipping this then I can only do so much.

It was a good idea none the less.
