Well I have the mach license installed but the addons license wont install or work.  I tried several times..When I open mach 3 and click "help" it shows my name in the top box so I guess it is fully licensed. I cant get the wizards to work..If I try to enter a number the box it will change but as soon as I move to another box it changes back to the original set number. Any ideas???  Thanks   Jim

 I believe I bought the license from Keling when I bought the steppers and drives. Not sure if I have a proof of purchase..I did find the receipt for the wizards and received it again.

  I sent a note to  license@machsupport.com . Hope they can help.

  On the positive side I got the estop remote button working this time around ! I may even try to get the spindle to be controlled by mach also...I dont know what to do with it then but its fun to put in a wizard and watch the mill do its thing..Better than T.V.!  lol

                     thanks    Jim

Well the long journey is longer..lol..
 
 I have been working on this project for 3 years..I changed jobs 3 years ago and it requires 100% travel so I have limited time to mess with my mill.
  I bought a BP boss and replaced everything..New steppers, drives, added ac drive,wiring and even paint. : ) I have zero cnc experience.
  I just wanted to learn cnc and think its cool. I have been manual machining for 23 years.I have a nicely equipped shop
  Well, this past winter when I was home and had free time to dig into this and found out my hard drive died..Dooh! I didnt back up anything or record all my mach settings..Double Dooh!  

  Fast forward to present..New computer..Got my the settings for motors and pins set..Ready to mess around now. I sent for my wizard license again..I forgot I need to get my Mach 3 license sent also so need to do that.Now to my question...I put the license emailed  to me and put it on a memory stick and then transferred it to my cnc puter.I just put it into the mach folder..I doesnt seem like it works. I am sure I need to do more or will it not work until I get the full mach license installed?  Thanks  Jim

The e-stop is on a different pin Hood.  It must have to do with the z axis switch having 2 separate switches and the other 2 axis only have one.Heck if I know?? I muddle my way thru this stuff.
