Tweakie,

Check the license status in Help->About.  I bet you are just in demo mode.  It is a random time.  The error message means that nothing was in the status history, nothing more.  I do need to fix that so that there is no message.

Hi Steve,

Sorry to say this but it shows Licensed in the help menu.

I Had a chance to run some Gcode and it appears there is an issue with v.2030 - I runs OK for a while then locks up (after no particular time or number of lines etc.) and the only way out is a PC restart. Tried it several times with the same end result.

The history tab brings up this error message, if it's any help.

Hi Art,

The new plugin appears to work just fine.
I have only tried jogging so far but will try running some Gcode later on today.

Excellent work Gerry, I think there will be a lot of interest in that program.

Hi Peter,

As mentioned by Dave, the way in which our PC ID is calculated has now been changed so you need to contact license support for the new licenses (Mach4 & Darwin)  license@machsupport.com

Please bear in mind that the '1 axis limit' issue has yet to be resolved so we will all have wait for the next Mach4 / Darwin release to be posted.

Hi Christof,

Welcome to the forum.

I was able to successfully get the software transferred to a newer, beefier machine... and read through the help/manual pdf...

That may be the problem, sounds like you don't have a correct install. Download and install the latest version from here; http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/

Hi Stevenl,

When you run Mach3 - at the top of the display screen which name do you get following Licensed To:  ??
