General Mach Discussion / Mach3 License Not Responding

« on: December 14, 2012, 05:36:56 PM »

Hi All,
I have a problem with my License that I bought just a couple of weeks ago. Since I bought it and dropped into my Mach3 Folder at least once a week it FREEZES up my computer. Across the top of my Mach3 Screen it states " MACH3 LICENSE TO ------- ------- ( NOT RESPONDING )". My only way out of this situation is to Turn the Power Off too my computer, (which is not good), then turn the computer back on, and then restart my Mach3 program, which will then run fine for about another week and I have to go through this whole process again. Since I have installed the License, I have turned off my screen saver in case this was causing a problem, there is nothing else on this computer as far as programs go.

Can someone Please give me some advice, or tell me what I have done wrong.
Thanks

Bill

General Mach Discussion / Info on Mach3 Licence and Activation

« on: December 01, 2012, 11:35:15 PM »

Hi All,
Can someone give me some information on the Mach3 Licence and the Activation of it.
I am New to CNC and to the Computer World so bare with me if I am asking some normally standard questions.
I understand that when I buy the Licence for Mach3 it will be sent to me via an email for Activation.
My questions are as follow ;-  the Computer that is running the CNC, does it have to be connected to the Internet to receive the email with the activation or can I have the email sent to another computer within my household that has a internet connection ?? How does the Activation actually take place ?? Sorry I don't know or understand how this all works and I don't want to muck it up. If I have it sent to another computer - How then do I Activate it on to the computer that is running Mach3 ?? I think I need Step by Step Instructions, my knowledge is very limited.
Now also while on the subject of internet and Mach3 - If I have the internet connected to a computer that is running Mach3 will an ANTIVIRUS Program interfere with the Mach3 operations ?? I was told that Mach3 will not work correctly because the ANTIVIRUS is always running in the background. Is this correct ?? 
Do hope someone can advice me so I have a better understanding.
THANKS
