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.

Hello CNC enthusiasts!

We’ve got some great news to share. If you’ve been using our License Manager, you might have noticed it’s undergone a significant transformation. Our team has worked hard to give it a fresh, modern look while keeping all the functionalities you’re used to.

What’s New?

User-Friendly Interface

We’ve incorporated a cleaner, more intuitive design that makes navigation a breeze.

License Badges

To make it easier to understand your license status, we’ve introduced color-coded badges. Now, ‘CCP’ becomes ‘Platinum’, ‘CC’ becomes ‘Free’, and ‘TR’ becomes ‘Trial’.

Action-Oriented Design

With newly added buttons, performing tasks like resending petrol emails or downloading license files has never been simpler.

Easier Email Verification

If your email hasn’t been verified, a simple button click will send a verification email to your inbox.

Why The Change?

We believe that a good user experience is crucial for efficiency and satisfaction. This upgrade aims to simplify your interaction with the License Manager, making it quicker and more pleasant to manage your CNC Simulator Pro licenses.

Coming Up

We’re always keen to improve, so stay tuned for more updates in the near future. Your feedback is invaluable, so don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with us.

To explore the revamped License Manager, head over to the platform.

Hello CNC Simulator Pro community,

We’re constantly striving to improve your experience, and one area we’ve focused on recently is license management. We’ve heard your feedback and are excited to share what’s coming in our next update.

The Issue

Some of you have faced challenges with our current license management system, especially after updating Windows or changing your network adapter. The digital fingerprint used for licensing can sometimes get affected, causing unnecessary hiccups.

The Solution

We are revamping our license management system to create digital fingerprints based on more stable parameters. This means that your license will be recognized consistently, even if you update Windows or swap out your network adapter.

What This Means for You

Once this update rolls out, you can expect a more seamless user experience. Your license will be more resilient to system changes, minimizing disruptions and letting you focus on what you do best—working with CNC.

Stay Tuned

This enhancement will be part of our next update, so keep an eye on our blog for the official announcement. Your continued support and feedback make these improvements possible, and we can’t wait for you to experience this new level of stability.

Until then, happy CNC’ing!
