motion controllers + uccnc licencing

[Robertspark]

Can I ask for a little clarification from CNCdrive please regarding licensing and motion controllers and uccnc?

I understand that to use uccnc you need to have a UC motion controller. (I have a uc400eth).

If I buy a second motion controller (uc300eth for example), would I require a second licence?

[I've seen the introductory free licence offer, but I'm more wondering about the overall approach, as I'm sure new potential uccnc users may wonder about]

Thanks as always,

Rob

Hi Rob,

I think the best answer I can give to this question is if I copy point 1.6 from the UCCNC manual:

1.6 .Licensing.
The software requires a license key to fully function. The license key is an encrypted file released
by the author and owner of the software: CNCdrive Kft. company. One license key is valid and can
be used with one UC100 device only. The license keys are personalised and assigned to an UC100
or other future motion controller device's serial number which makes the software function with
that specific device only.
The UC100 device's serial number and the license key's serial number must match, the license key
with one serial number and an UC100 device with a different serial number will not work.
A separate license key should be purchased for each UC100 devices for the UCCNC software to
work with them. It also must be noted that the software can connect to and can run with one UC100
device one time. The license key file is delivered in e-mail only, no physical media (CD/DVD) is
supplied.
To install the license key, simply copy the license key file to the UCCNC installation folder and run
the software. The software automaticaly senses the license key in the installation directory and will
connect to the device.
Without a license key the software runs in demo mode when there is no physical connection is made
to the external motion controller, the software emulates the motion, but signals are not generated by
the device.
Without an UC100 device connected or installed to the computer the software will start in demo
mode. As mentioned previously in this case the software emulates the motion, but no signals are
generated by the device, all motions happening on the screen is just simulation.
The possiblity of using the software in demo mode without a software license key and without
buying an UC100 motion controller provides the ability for you to try and test the software without
the need of any prior purchase. We recommend that you test and make sure that the software fits
your needs before purchasing a software license key.
Software license keys because of the nature of this kind of product are not returnable and are not
refundable
