I have a fiber laser delivered tomorrow (monday in Aussie) I am giving a week to learn ezcad2, but the 100% advice on various fiber groups…is go Lightburn!
On checking, I can add galvo to my key….which will be renewed two months early, later this year.
What I need some information about is the start/ end of the Galvo support in my next 14 month renewal!
Does Galvo have a 12 month timeline running side by side with my “ full key and need payment 12 months after being activated originally?
When you add Galvo support to your license, it will follow whatever update availability you currently have left on your license. Adding Galvo support does not extend upgrade support at all. It simply adds another controller type to your existing license. So, if you have 6 months of upgrades left, you will still have 6 months after adding Galvo support.
I had read the combination info but maybe a better question is…my current Key has around 4 months before renewal date. The pricing on the online forum page is $130 not yet clear to me if that is us$ or ‘my” au$, however is that payment a one off to add it to my key, or an annual requirement ie added to my diode laser This July….is it due again as a separate payment in 12 months time? My current renewal costs au$45 /us$30, which because I paid 2 months in advance is due October.
When you purchase this addon license, to add Galvo support to your license: LightBurn Software - Add Galvo support to existing license key It’s $90 USD, which I believe works out to approx $130 au$. That is a one time purchase. That purchase will add Galvo capability to your existing license.
In the future, when you renew your upgrade capabilities, you are adding 12 months of upgrade ability to your license. This covers the any and all upgrades to the software for the controllers you are licensed for, which in your case would be GCODE support and GALVO support after you have purchased the upgrade. Adding additional controllers to your license does not change the ongoing cost of purchasing upgrade capabilities, it is always the same cost. ($30 USD)
Thanks for the info and your patience.
My laser arrived just over an hour ago, a week overdue! But, its 90% assembled.
Your info means I can upgrade my key when the laser is running its first job!
Thanks again.
