Hello to all of the people making as many mistakes myself and causing the need to produce this fantastic forum. My name is Mark and have been around awhile. This is the third round of learning the art of milling. it is becoming difficult to keep up with the software changes but the cutting stays the same. Manual then DRO then CAD and wireless now printing going full on..
Ive never registered or contributed because i didnt feel i had anything to give, so excuse me for dropping the coming question. Anything needing an answer was easily located simply by coming here and searching, so thank you for that.
My trouble is the following..
A small fire damaged some shop equipment and documents. A small mill/lathe w/gecko drive was powered via mach3 on win xp. My operator is no longer with me and cannot help me reset what i am needing.
The mach 3 program says it is licensed to an unfamiliar name. The wizards will not all work due to the need of licensing. There is no response from New Fangled Solutions as to whether I own the software or not. The mach 3 file folder was destroyed in the fire and I have a feeling the original mach3 or maybe the one i pulled from a back up disk, may be pirated because of the lack of operating wizards.
It seems simple enough to just purchase a new license and am ready to just that and am in need of some help as to what to get with it or not get.
Will i have a complete set of the wizards showing under the wizard tab?
Will the New Fangled Suite wizard (in the same tab) also function under the license?
Do i need to get the mill wizard? This question is because i remember using the items describbed in the program, although i might be recalling something running in the mach3 wizards instead..
One last concern is the mill and computer is running without internet and everything must be moved by usb. Any help with this would so much be appreciated. Thank you,Mark
