USB is the way I have done it for years. I just wanted to use Mill Wizard. I finally got Team Viewer to work after much much effort. I had disable many services thinking I would never connect the shop computer to the internet. I finally got the two computers connected on the network and it works but slower than going over the internet. For some reason I couild never get the shop computer to connect to the internet which is probably good.
Then I realized that I do not have a license for Mill Wizard. I thought it was included in Mach 4 Industrial. I don't think I would have enough use for it to bother buying it even though it is only $75. Major expenses getting ready for the next fire (new road culverts etc) and had to replace most house appliances after a surge. So I am feeling really broke and cheap.
If I finally get paid some back bills I might buy it to play with. The developers certainly deserve the money.

All of these local network suggestions are possible,but likely quite difficult to do.
Whats wrong with the? old 'sneaker net', just write the gcode file you want on a USB memory stick and carry it to the shop? The file will get there just as quick as you do, and with no network problems.

I have a license on the shop machine. I just want to use mill wizard in the house but can not figure out how to do that. I have internet from Viasat and it is unbelievably? fucked up. Ability to connect to secure sites changes from hour to hour. I tried to create an account using my welcome email link so I could add another computer to the license but after about an hour gave up.
All I want to do is use Mill Wizard in the house I am not trying to get anything for nothing. I used CamBam instead for which I also have a license and got the job done but MW would have been faster.

Yes, that is correct. You can generate a JOB file, which saves all your operations and input values. You can then load the job file on a system with a license and generate gcode with it.
Depending on how you prefer to work you can put the licensee on your desk machine and do all your design there, then take the gcode to the shop. You can also do your design and see the resulting graphic, save the job file and do the gcode on the machine in your shop.
We tried to make it flexible, give you a nice demo version, but still restrict it so you would buy a license. We were not doing software for charity, as I assume you don't give away your work.
