I have Mach4 2686 running and successfully licensed on my Win7 32 bit office computer.
I have wondered whether there would be any benefit in moving to 64 bit operation, so have installed Win8.1 64 bit on a second drive on the same machine. I wanted to see if Mach4 still ran successfully so installed it on the 64 bit OS.
To my surprise, the PC Id was totally different to that for the 32 bit OS, despite it being on the same machine, so my existing Mach4 licence was invalid. Is this the intended behaviour, or should the Id be machine specific and therefore the same for both OS?
I hope that with all the licensing issues of late Artsoft do not unduly limit the number of inactive licences we can have.
