License install issue <resolved>

[jhelgesen1]

I waited too long to install, but I’ve got my g0704 running happy finally. Went to install my Pro license, got a install okay message, but never changes from free to pro. What am I missing?

Hello jhelgesen,

This can be caused by the supplied license file becoming corrupt. This can happen for various reasons, saving the file using a Mac or Apple computer and sometimes loading it off of a USB drive are some common causes.

Would encourage you to try and download the file from the email again using maybe a different computer, browser, or email software. If you continue to have the issue, can send an email to diysales@centroidcnc.com with a brand new report (From main CNC 12 screen, Utility (F7) > Create Report (F7)), and can have a new license file generated for you to try as well.

Check out our How to install an Acorn CNC 12 License as well found here. https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=3345

I tried a fresh copy and it worked. The previous I had copied to google drive.

Thanks so much.

Now if I could get the dxf import to work. Hit f6 then look and f8 is an empty space. Is there something else to turn on?

DXF import is not a supported feature in Acorn

[jhelgesen1]

Says it is supported on this acorn page.

So it does, I thought I heard the opposite, I will bow to the greater knowledge of Centroid staff.

Does this help?

Great video on how it works, thanks.

Also shows me the F8 button that doesn't show up.

I'll post a report this afternoon.

Thanks, JH

My understanding is that DXF import works with Mill but not with Lathe.

[tblough]

That is correct. DXF Import is only supported by Mill and Router at this time.
