Strictly speaking the software is only licensed to the college and you should buy the software again from us :cry:
However, because the machine is fairly old and VR2 is no longer supported (ie, frozen development), I'm not sure if the situation is the same, I will have to ask around (you probably won't like the answer though)

Hi,

I have just bought a 1994 Triac PC - excellent machine and very well made. :D
Correctly it came with just the hardware and no software.
So I have an RS232 connection into the control box which I believe will accept MINT commands - what software would I need to drive this?
Did you post a reply to the costs of VR Milling ?
Is VR Milling the software I need, If so how much would it be from yourselves?

Many thanks for your help,

VR Milling 2 is what you need. Or an upgrade to VR milling 5

Do you know who owned the machine before?

We charge an admin fee (I think £50) to replace the licence key of lost software.

I think we could probably create you a licence under this scheme.

Thanks

Just received an email with the price - I hope to get one of these licenses from you via paypal.

Excellent support - many thanks,
