| |
| − | What about licensing requirements? Our licensing requirements are very simple because the license is tied to a device we call a hardware key. If you have the hardware key, then you are permitted to run CNC Bender. This means that you can copy CNC Bender software to as many computers as you wish. In fact, I recommend that you make at least one working backup copy for emergency recovery.

Any valid setting under 200 for the last [[octet]] will work. The operator station uses .200 as the address. If the operator station is not powered on, or is not attached to the bender network, then you can also use address .200.

| − | From this point, operation of CNC Bender is identical to the operation of CNC Bender on the operating station. The physical buttons on the operator station are still needed to operate the bender. The replacement computer should probably be placed near the operator station.

| |
| − | Note: Since the operator station is completely powered down, the touchscreen is no longer used while using the backup computer. Use the mouse on the new computer to simulate the touchscreen.
