Hi,
you may have up to five machines, each will have its unique PCID.

Hi,
log on to the NFS site and go to 'self managed licence' section.

Thanks Craig, all set up now!
Now I am ready to connect my Warp9 ESS.
I have opted to stay with my C11 board and will maybe add an addition Break out Board for the extra i/o's
Am I correct in saying I can copy all my motor ports and pins from Mach3 and add them in to my Mach4 setup ?

That is substantially correct. Set up the pins in the ESS/Pins Config tab, then assign the pins on the ESS/Outputs tab.
Note the ESS plugin automatically updates the Mach Control plugin, it should not be necessary to make the settings in both,
just the ESS plugin.
