Hi John,

Make sure you have properly extracted the zip file that was sent to you. Copy the file  Mach1Lic.dat  into your Mach3 folder.

Make a copy, and rename it, removing the (5) from the name.

Excellent.

Some are here for the journey and some for the destination but it is certainly a hobby where we just don't stop learning.
