Strictly speaking the software is only licensed to the college and you should buy the software again from us
However, because the machine is fairly old and VR2 is no longer supported (ie, frozen development), I'm not sure if the situation is the same, I will have to ask around (you probably won't like the answer though)

Hi,
I have just bought a 1994 Triac PC - excellent machine and very well made.
Correctly it came with just the hardware and no software.
So I have an RS232 connection into the control box which I believe will accept MINT commands - what software would I need to drive this?
Did you post a reply to the costs of VR Milling ?
Is VR Milling the software I need, If so how much would it be from yourselves?
Many thanks for your help,

VR Milling 2 is what you need. Or an upgrade to VR milling 5
Do you know who owned the machine before?
We charge an admin fee (I think £50) to replace the licence key of lost software.
I think we could probably create you a licence under this scheme.
