Starmill ATC - security key not connected

Post by jai » Wed 10 Jul , 2013 22:11 pm

Machine is circa 1990. Runs on DOS. Starmill.EXE starts on boot.

Errors out with "Security Key not Connected"

Dont think this is a physical key.

Any help will be appreciated. I eventually want to upgrade to VR Milling also run the software from another machine - say XP. Have been reading lots of posts here (forum is very helpful), but not sure whether this entails hardware upgrade as well.

Thanks.

Jai
