Hi Spencer, if you log into your New Fangled account, under the license control, you can generate a license ?file for a 2nd PC.?
cheers

Yes, you can run it on a desk machine to generate the gcode, then transfer that to your mill to cut it. You can also generate a job file on you desk, then transfer that to the shop computer to generate the gcode and run the job. If needed you can edit the job file in the shop and re generate the gcode.
You can generate job files on multiple computers, but the machine that generates the gcode must hold the license.

if i run millwizard without a license it does not let me see or save gcode, the buttons are grayed out.

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.

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.

Use remote desktop or perhaps VNC () to mirror your workshop screen in the house?

If both PCs are on your internal network, have you considered using VNC to access the workshop PC from the house? I use TightVNC to access various computers from my main PC and it works pretty well. There is even a version that runs on an Android phone if you want to check the workshop PC remotely without firing up the house PC. Regards, Les Grant.

There is no need for internet in the workshop. Just setup a private network with UTP between the shop computer and the house computer.

Run a network cable from the house computer to the workshop computer and set up a private network. Then you can send file between them and remote into each computer from the other one. If the distance is more than 99 meters you will need fibre.

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.

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.

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.

i have one and am getting a very strong signal. i have no idea why it is so slow and unless i really need it at some point i really don't care.? i have a long range wifi thing at the house but it points to our cabin about a half mile away and is very directional. the signal i am getting is from a range extender at the closest part of the house from the shop. at the shop i have an amplified directional radio.
i hate network stuff, it seems to have so many random components and little accurate documentation. I am on the network getting a V$ Ip address from the router and I can connect via Team viewer but I have "no internet" i turned virtually every service to manual or automatic and still no internet.
If i get internet I am most likely to turn it off anyway but his is just bugging me.
I have an almost identical computer as a backup and it has built in WIFI and will probably work but then I have the problem of switching Mach4 license to it and for some reason I just can't seem to register it. Maybe not being the weekend the shitty satellite will cooperate and not make me try 10 times to get to a secure page.
Any hints on how to quickly register? I got a welcome email with a license file made in response to my computer ID number but can not find that email anymore although I do have the file and know what email address I used but the system does not see me when I try to register with that email address. It is exasperating to do this because what would take 2 minutes on any other internet connection can be 45 minutes of frustration.

i need to figure out what i did with the wifi radio that as in the computer before i took it out or can probably find something else in some junk box :) not sure if the little wifi dongles will reach the router in the house, the workshop is about 400 feet away. will give it a try.

If both PCs are on your internal network, have you considered using VNC to access the workshop PC from the house? I use TightVNC to access various computers from my main PC and it works pretty well. There is even a version that runs on an Android phone if you want to check the workshop PC remotely without firing up the house PC.

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.
