REVISION Information

10-20070707, July 2, 2007

NEW: LiteControl GUI Update

The LiteControl now features the same updated GUI as the ProControl. It also requires the the higher screen resolution of 1024 x 768. (The older 800 x 600 is too low for the new software.)

NEW: Splash / Version Screen Shows License Type

CNC Bender can use one of four license models:

ProControl Full
ProControl Offline
LiteControl Full
LiteControl Offline

During startup or display of the version screen, the license type is displayed. For example, this shows the OFFLINE license type is running:

ENHANCED: Hardware Key Handling

There are new rules requiring hardware key setup for CNC Bender:

REQUIRED PROGRAM ID	Hardware keys used for CNC Bender now require an appropriate program ID in both the time-limited and the permanent hardware key. A program ID is a license number that resides in the hardware keys that indicate which of our software packages are allowed to run on the computer system. This is now true of both TIME and PERMANENT keys.
LiteCONTROL - PERMANENT KEYS	LiteControl licenses are now linked to a single specific hardware key. The setup of every PERMANENT KEYED LiteControl configuration file must be performed by Advanced Tubular before CNC Bender LiteControl will run.
ProCONTROL - PERMANENT KEYS	ProControl licenses are NOT linked to a specific hardware key, but the hardware key must contain a general ProControl license.
TIME KEYS	Neither LiteControl or ProControl licenses are linked to to a single hardware key. However, the hardware key must contain a setup for at least one of the four license types (see the previous topic).
