it looks like (could actually get to Machsupport finally) i do not have any account although i am sure i had one at some time. it might be mach3 i am thinking of. anyway i have a PCID and a matching license file. Is it possible to use these to add my product to my newly created account?
i can send the license file privately but do not want to send it to the group. I guess I never registered it because I did not have an account? I would like to do so now. Can not find anything in email from Brian about doing this. Was probably less than a year ago but I am horrible with dates.
PCID MCH-A9B8428E ECCC C499- 04C8 AE15 A602 457E not sure of -s

You don't have to actually take the computer to a different site. All you need is the PCID from the target computer. Use MAch4's

and generate the license using the PCID from the memory stick. Get the license and save it back on the memory stick for transport
back to the target computer.

I wasted a lot of time trying to get wifi working on my shop computer.
I had told myself I never wanted wifi on it so I disabled a bunch of
windows services and then tried enabling them again. Anyway short
story. I completely fucked up the computer the last step was windows
restore making a total mess of it. Fortunately I have a drive image
made with Macrium Reflect and was able to save the mach4 config files
and restore the computer to April 2021 which was fortunately after
installing mach4 and getting most stuff like the Smoothstepper to work
So I am back to working again but am wondering what it take to switch
computers. I have an almost identical one that has wifi built in so it
has a better chance.
I got the license from Brian Barker and his email seems to be no
longer valid. The license was generated from my computers PCID so it
needs to be generated again for a different computer. I have tried to
register but am meeting with an unbelievable array of problems. My
satellite connection takes hours of fiddling to get it to connect to a
secure site. So what should take a minute (just logging on to a secure
site) can take hours of waiting and trying again, then making some
progress and then not being able to get to the site. I find it
difficult to believe that Viasat actually charges for this and no
support can do nothing about it other than agree that Viasat is fucked
in so many ways and is never going to change.
So how do I switch mach4 to my backup computer?
