Predator is installed. The "full blown predator"... It runs in "free mode" unless licensed for more. The "licensing" comes from BobCad. Launching Predator "through BobCad" will activate the license installed for what you have. You could purchase a standalone license from predator-software. I think there like $3500.00. Then use the licensing manager to specify which one to use: C:\Program Files (x86)\Predator Software\Editor 7.0\EditorLicensingMgr.exe

The "BobCad integrated" version needs to be launched from BobCad.

Burr,are you sure about needing to open thru BoB to read license ?.If I have a properly made .nc or .txt file with the preditor header,I can just open preditor/file open then I can backplot or edit without opening BoB. Or am I mis-understanding something here ?

Maybe you are refering to V23 and a dongle? I think the licensing was handled a little different with that and there hasnt been a transition with that regard to the new Online/activation licensing scheme.

So, "While BobCad is running?" This works for me too.

Fresh start of computer, open Predator? Unlicensed. V25 = Start BobCad, open predator licensed from predator icon. V23 = Cant launch predator licensed without BobCad.

Burr,are you sure

I'm just speculating.
