We greatly appreciate your feedback and help in testing this important update!

At CNC Simulator Pro, we’re constantly striving to improve the user experience, and today we’re excited to share some behind-the-scenes updates that will make a big difference for our customers.

We’re working on a major overhaul of our licensing system. This update is designed to enhance the onboarding process, making it smoother and more intuitive, while addressing a key issue that some of you may have encountered: the misidentification of PC clients.

For a small number of our paying customers, these misidentifications have caused unnecessary frustrations by starting the software in free mode instead of recognizing the valid license. We’ve heard your feedback, and we’re taking action to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future.

Our goal is simple:

1. Streamlined Licensing Experience – From setup to activation, the process will be more user-friendly and efficient.
2. Greater Robustness – We’re implementing improvements to reduce errors and ensure your licenses are recognized reliably every time.

This update is part of our commitment to continuously improve CNC Simulator Pro and support your creativity and productivity.

Stay tuned for more information as we roll out these changes.

Thank you for your continued support! Together, we’re building a better CNC experience.

We’re excited to announce the latest update to the CNC Simulator Pro License Manager! This streamlined, user-friendly tool makes it easier than ever to manage and customize your licenses.

What’s New?

1. Enhanced User Interface: Navigate your licenses with ease. The updated layout provides a clear view of license details like License ID, Type, Status, and Expiration Date.

2. Improved License Control: Now, with simple options to reset client lists or recreate license files or keys, managing your license connections is fast and flexible. Need to move a single-user license to a new device? Our new move feature has you covered.

3. Efficient License Re-creation: For multi-seat Platinum licenses, you can now regenerate license files or strings directly. Remember, when you recreate a license, all previous users with the old key will need the updated version—ensuring security and control over access.

4. Custom Screen Name and Email Options: Personalize your software experience with a custom screen name and control email reminders right from the License Manager.

We’re excited to announce our Release Candidate 1 is now available! This version could become our final release if no new issues are found during testing.
