I am using BOBCAD V30. Have used the MACH post processor successfully for years on multiple machines. We just moved our INC CNC machine. The desk top crapped out and we loaded a Demo of Mach 3 onto a laptop to run the machine. Exactly what we had in it previously. Now it is stopping when it comes to a Sub Program call up and the machine just sits and waits. Did I overlook a setting or is the Demo not allowing it? Thank you in advance.

The demo only allows you to run a maximum of 500 lines of code and then stops.
Is that what is happening?.
If so. You must have had a license file in the other machine.
To run more than 500 lines of code in one program you need a license.

I think subs don't work in the demo.

If you can access the HDD of your dead desktop, copy the Mach1Lic.dat from Mach3 directory to the laptop, same directory.
That is your license file. Keep a copy of the file in safe place for future

Thank you everyone for your advice. I found the DAT file in the old desk top and was able to move it over. The issue was the 500 line limit. The sub was beyond the 500 line limit and when it was called up, MACH just drew a blank. Once I got the DAT file moved, everything worked. Thank you again for the help
