mach3 license for separate computer

Post by leggman »

I am ready to purchase my license for mach 3 but the computer I use for internet and the computer that runs my table are two separate computers as my shop has no internet.
Can I download the license to a flash drive and then install it on my shop computer?
Can the license be used on more than one computer?

For Mach3 (which is no longer supported) I believe you can install it on as many computers as you wish. You will need the license file to "unlock" from demo mode. You can copy the license file to a thumb drive and install on your shop computer without an internet connection to the shop computer.

I purchased an AvidCNC 4x4 router table several years ago and it came with Mach3. I have Mach3 installed on my office computer and the shop computer, but unless it is connected to an actual cnc machine there is not much you can really do with it. It is not for design, only for interpreting the G-code to run the stepper motors on the actual table.

For Mach4, here is the info from their website.
