Title: Mach4 reverts to demo mode after every reboot
Post by: doodlerjeff on September 10, 2022, 01:48:58 PM
Every time I reboot my computer Mach4 reverts to demo mode. A new PCID is generated. I know this has happened in the past because I changed network settings, but I haven't changed them in a while. Yet every time I reboot I have to re-submit the PCID to get a new license code. What's up?

That happens to my system when the CMOS battery goes dead on my computer.  I’m altering my CNC machine to keep the power to the computer once it shuts down to prevent the CMOS batteries from getting drained because power has been cut to the PC for extended periods of time.

Hi,
I  think I would try and sort it, you are allowed something like seven license transactions in two years.....it would npot take long to blast through them if
you had to do so at each re-boot.
