I hate demo mode!!!!!!!!!!

I recently bought a UC100(906E8E) and a UCCNC.
In the first installation, the UCCNC license file and the serial number of UC100 were different, so it was run in demo mode.
I requested CNCDRIVE again and received a license file such as the serial number of UC100 and installed it in Windows 10, but this time, it was run in demo mode.
After that, I tried installing it on Windows 7, but it was also run in demo mode.
Then, when I installed Archived 1.1027 version of UCCNC on Windows XP x86, it worked properly.

The PCs I tested were 2 laptops and 2 desktops.
The latest version of UCCNC installation method was received by e-mail from the CNCDRIVE support team and installed.

I want to use the latest version of UCCNC (1.2113).
Please provide the latest version of UCCNC installation solution.

Verify that the UCx00 utility tool sees your UC100. IT is in the UCCNC/API folder.
If it does not then verify that the USB drivers of the UC100 are installed properly.
Verify it in the Windows device manager.,
If the drivers is not installed properly then try to install it manually in the Device manager from the UCCNC/USB_drivers folder.

I checked the connection as below on all PCs where I installed UCCCNC.

UC100 Serial : 906E8E.

If the UCx00 utility tool can read out the serial number of the UC100 means that the USB drivers are installed properly and then the UCCNC can connect to the UC100 without problem.
Then the problem can be a wrong license key file.
You wrote that earlier you got a wrong license key, so please make sure to copy the correct license key file now.

Of course, I put the newly received license key in the UCCNC folder and ran UCCNC.

Running UCCNC on Windows 10 or Windows 7 is in demo mode but works on Windows XP (UNCNC 1.1027).

Does the UCCNC License file have information about OS?

OK, I reply here not in mail.

Let's collect what we have:
- you have a working UC100
- you have a working license file on the XP machine
- you have a Win7 and Win10 PC where the UCxxx_utility finds the UC100, but the UCCNC runs only in demo mode

Copy the working license file from the XP PC to the Win7 and/or Win10 PC using a pendrive. The license file that works with 1.1027 also works with 1.2113.

(And sorry, I was wrong with the driver replacement: you sent a screenshot of the UCxxx_utility where the UC100 was recognized, so there was no driver problem.)

I copied one license file sent from CNCDRIVE.COM to WIN XP, WIN 10, and WIN 7.
As a result, it worked in WIN XP, but in WIN 10 and WIN 7, it worked in demo mode.

Have the license file working in WIN XP and the license file working in demo mode in WIN 10 or WIN 7 changed to another file by UCCNC?

No, the file did not change anytime. The file that works with old version works with new versions too. My first UC100 license file is from 2014 when UCCNC was in the 1.0xxx versions and still works with all 1.1xxx and 1.2xxx versions. Try to copy the whole UCCNC directory from the XP to one of the new PCs to a new directory. It must work there too. Then copy the license file locally to the nonworking directory and test again. (The only thing I can imagine is that while you save the license file on the new PCs it gets corrupted, that's why I wrote to copy using a pendrive.)

Make sure the license file is not getting renamed, or an extension added, when copying it onto the other PC's.

@ dezsoe
In WIN XP where UCCNC works, copy the license file to WIN 10 and WIN 7 using a pen drive and then run UCCNC, it will run in demo mode.

@ger21
Of course I didn't rename the license file.
