Hello guys, Mach3 (Version R3.043.066) starts in demo-mode when selecting the UC300ETH. I copied the license-file in the Mach3-folder and it works fine with the parallel port selected. Mach3 shows my name in the 'About'-section and it does not stop in gcode-line 500. With UC300ETH selected the milling process stops after 500 lines of code and it shows Demo in the 'About'-Section. I downloaded Mach3 with the UC300ETH plugin from cncdrive.com. I hope you can help, thanks in advance, Simon Posts: 2 Joined: Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:06 pm.
In the case of Windows 10 you should use Mach3 Version R3.043.062 which you can download from. I guess the mach3 license is ok because you wrote that the program works with the selected parallel port. Probably, when updating windows10, there was some error in assigning the right of access in the previous version of Mach3. As Gerry suggests, you can try a fresh installation of Mach3. Uninstall the previous version of mach3 and install the version R3.043.062 that runs under Windows 10. Before installing the UC300ETH plugin, copy the license into the mach3 folder and start the program. Mach3 should start as a licensed version.
If everything is ok, install the UC300ETH plugin and create a profile for the machine. Install Mach3, UC300ETH plugins and create profiles by right-clicking on the file and selecting Run as administrator. For all applications (plasma and router) except for rotary work, I use UCCNC. For rotary applications I use Mach3. Now the test version of UCCNC v1.2108 adds support for rotary axes as well as G93 so I will be able to do rotary jobs from UCCNC.
LIMITATIONS IN THE UNREGISTERED VERSION (Mill/Plasma) 500 line gcode limit (samples) (10,000,000 limit after licensing). Mach3 R3.043.066 add to watchlist send us an update. Buy now $ 175.00.

Laki, There are several cracked license keys (we see the issue at least weekly) which do work with the LPT ports, but do not work when a motion controller is used. We beleive that there are extra protections in Mach3's plugin interface, likely because they thought it is the most important to protect the software when external controllers are used and protection is not that important for the 'cheap' who uses LPT ports. I think the best is if the OP contact Machsupport and ask them to verify his license. I remember a few cases when the license key had an issue which they fixed for the customers, but mostly this is a cracked license key issue. Site Admin Posts: 2591 Joined: Tue Aug 12, 2014 11:17 pm.
Hello Russ, Yes the licence file is copied in the Mach3 directory. I will explain the steps that I have followed to get the problem. 1) I installed the Mach3 V R3.043.022 2) I copied the licence to Mach3 directory 3) I created a Mill profile 'Mill Home1' 4) I started up Mach3 5) I checked if the program was licenced. Crack key downloads. The program indicated in the left upper corner that Mach3 is licenced +Name and unlimitted line Nbrs.
6) I clicked on the help function and in the drop down menu on ' About mach3 control' The screen indicated licenced + name + version R3.043.022. 7) I configured the CNC milling machine and added the ESS (Ethernet Smooth Stepper) plug in module. 8) I restarted Mach3 and checked step 5 and 6, step 5 indicated identical, step 6 indicated Demo + Version 9) From then on, the line nbr limit was max 500 lines 10) I created a new 2nd profile 'Mill Home2' 11) Started up Mach3 with Mill Home2 (Mach3 default configuration without ESS) and checked step 5 & 6 Result:step 6 Licenced + Name, Step 6 Name + Version and unlimitted line nbrs. Whit this I conclude that the implementation of the ESS causes the problem. Is there anybody with the same experience and the ability to give a solution for this problem?
