Protospace VCarve pro Makerspace Client Installation instructions

Protospace has purchased a license for a Makerspace version of VCarve Pro Edition.

This license includes allowing a user to run a VCarve Pro Client at home and then bring in the files to Protospace to output G-CODE and submit to the CNC machines.

Note that this installation will allow you to use all functions of VCarve PRO Edition on your PC but it will not export G-CODE.

You must bring this files to a workstation licensed to Protospace and export the G-CODE from there.

The following instructions show you how to install VCarve PRO Edition on your PC, then get licensed as a Client for Protospace.

Procedure:

Step 1) - Download the trial version of VCarve: https://www.vectric.com/support/makerspace-sign-up and Install it on your PC

Note: The latest version of VCarve Pro is 11.5 but they do not have a Makerspace version released so we need to use VCarve Pro version 11.0. The link above will link to VCarve Pro 11.0 trial to download.

Step 2) - Launch the program and skip through the licensing questions and simply get it installed with a basic 3-axis mill (the default Mill)
