    Can I move the OneCNC software from one computer to another?

    I'm going to purchase the onecnc program and was wondering if I load it on an older computer now, will I have to pay a fee to move it to a new computer later?

    I've heard tell of guys having to rebuy programs when their computers die. Is this the same case with OneCNC?

    I have a DELL that is 5 or 6 years old and am wondering if I should replace it now or if I can worry about it down the road.

    Thanks

    Install it on as many machines as you want, it only runs on the machine if the dongle is present.

    Absolutely not. It is locked to the dongle, (IE: hard lock), not the computer..so no worries about a drive going south..Or as Chris stated, use it on as many computers as you like..

    I would start out with a new XP computer don’t think a 5 or 6 year old computer will run Onecnc XR3.

    But I may be wrong.
