What is the limitation of the free version of Mach3 - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I am planning on buying a license, but I would like to know what differences I should expect. I know the free version is limited to about 200 lines of G-code, but there must be more. Thanks

Hi Dan,
Free license are limited to 500 lines of Gcode. Mach3 has a limit of 10,000,000 lines of Gcode even after licensing

Is that all?
One would think that more options would be unlocked by purchasing a license.

It's actually now 250 lines. Also, you can't do threading in Turn mode. The Wiki used to list the limitations, but the list is no longer there. There's a few other minor things as well, but I can't recall them.

Also, LazyCAM can only export 50 lines of code if mach3 is in demo mode.

Is there a reason that it is limited to 10 million lines? It it to not overload the memory?
