Hi Keith, in case you didn't see it in the other thread, I can't get my Pro unlock to work with 4.08. It was emailed to me on Aug 18 but I never tried to use it until lathe came out. I have everything installed per your video and working fine but it still says "Acorn free." Will I need a new unlock for the 4.08?

4.06 Pro and Ultimate Licenses work with 4.08
maybe you got one that never worked since you didn't have a chance to try it.
Please post a report.zip file so we can generate you a new Pro License.

OK, will do. Probably tomorrow, I'm on grandkid workshop lock-down for today. The 7 yr. old girl is great. She quietly putters around the shop with scrap wood blocks & drawing on old papers. The 2 1/2 boy is a terrorist. He turns every wheel, flips every switch, turns over every liquid and asks a million times "What's this pappaw, what's this pappaw...." I finally had to give up & lock the door. Give him a few years though & he'll be building race cars & airplanes!

OK, the little sweethearts went back to Mom. Here's my report.zip file.

Acorn Lathe Pro License for Acorn #985DAD887BFB-0605170051 attached.

after downloading...please rename the file from a .txt to a .dat extension before importing with the Utility menu as per this post.

Is there any other kinkiness required to do the license unlock other than the file extension change? I downloaded it onto a thumb drive on an internet connected PC, copied it onto the CNC PC & followed the install inst. in the link but CNC12 still says "Acorn free." I'm sure it must be something simple I'm not doing properly.

please find .zip version of same Pro License. please unzip on cncpc desktop by right clicking "extract all" then use the utility menu to Import the .dat file as per then instructions.

if you still have trouble please connect the cncpc to the internet and install teamviewer and send me the id and pass (using private message feature of this forum) and i'll remote in and we will go over things.

Ahh, betch'a that'll do her, thanks!:) I'll find out tonight.

YAY! I'm a Pro now; if Centroid says so, it must be true!

(Now I just gotta get the hardware working.)
