General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 registration

« on: November 18, 2009, 05:06:52 AM »

Hi all,
I’m in need of a little bit of help. I am quite new to CNC and “Mach3”; I have converted an X2 mill and want to get going with “Mach3”.
I got hold of an old desk top computer which had been running “Mach” quite comfortably in its previous life, the original “Mach” program had been removed, so I downloaded the latest version of “Mach3” to have the latest version and also so it can be registered in my name. The problem is when I look in help, about Mach3, it shows it is still licensed to the previous owner of the PC, but even though it shows that it’s licensed it will stop at 500 lines.
What do I need to do to remove the previous license, so I can purchase my own and have it registered in my name?
Michael

Hi all, I have just recently joined and know basically nothing about CNC. I am retired after working in the motor industry for 45 years, more than half of that time I was involved in tooling. I have used AutoCad for the last 20 years but mainly only 2D. My main hobby at the moment is scale RC helicopters, besides playing with my new mill.
I have just purchased a Seig X2 mill and hope to convert it to CNC, my first question is, do I need any other software programs besides AutoCad and Mach3 to send files to the controllers? I guess this question has been asked a thousand times so please except my apologies.
