Participating Machine Tool Builders may supply the GUI

software option Enabled, or Disabled

licence certificate. This licence should be passed to the
End User (usually with the machine manual)

Using the GUI software

Where a Machine Tool Builder has

supplied the software on the machine in
a disabled state, it will need to be
Enabled (unlocked)
This can be done by Renishaw or by the
OEM service staff
In order to do this, a licence certificate
must be ordered from Renishaw
