I was finally able to get the issue resolved through Denford US. They were able to find the school information and issue us the original flash code to enable VR milling. I appreciate the help from everyone and apologize for not responding sooner.

Here are some pics of the machine and control cabinet.

I'm not sure if it was version2.** now? The user manual has a part number: 700312 - not sure if this will help identify a software version it's tied to. The first page of the manual in the "legal" portion pertaining to trademark etc, calls out Copyright Denford Inc. - Version 4.0 June 2002 Again not...

I was just digging around in some files the previous instructor left, and found a flash code written in one of the manuals.

I downloaded the flashes.txt file, but I'm not sure how to load them in. I looked at some of the posts in the downloads section, and one said to copy it into the .OPT file, but this didn't let me open the software. I'm still getting a Dongle alarm.

Should I be pasting the flash code somewhere else?

I have a Triac PC SR#EO4012 (April 1992) and a Mirac PC SR#EO4448 (May 1994). The Triac ran for a few years and the computer that it was hooked to died. Long story short the IT department here at the school "misplaced" the installation software and the floppy disk that I'm told acts as the dongle. I...
