Hi James,

I am pleased you have it sorted.

(I have quite a few different software licenses and I keep secure copies in a folder which is duplicated and synced in a number of different places within my network - and in an emergency I still can't find the license I need  )

Hello Tweakie. Yes mate im getting the same feeling that i will have the same issue if the time arrives. The mach support team were great once i learned how to contact them. If i have any more trouble with the licence that will be the first place i will go to. I no now that my licence will all ways be there if i ever needed it again. Now Im struggling with getting the machine to work from mach3. It was working great before i started installing a zero touch probe. Then my spindle stop working and i couldn't get it going again and the touch probe wasn't work well. So removed the probe and reinstalled windows and mach3 and thats where the licence issue started. Now i struggling with the set up ports and pins. looking at youtube and forums none of these settings are working. My brain hurts.

Hi James,

Your general Mach3 settings are stored in a <your profile>.xml file.

When things go wrong with Mach3 there is generally no need to re-install everything because you will almost certainly have your last known good settings stored as a file in your xmlbackups folder. Restoring can be done manually by renaming and copying/pasting the appropriate .xml file but within Mach3 the Operator / Restore Settings tabs can do it for you (with onscreen instructions).

Hope this helps you at some time in the future.
