A new Preview Features tab has been added to the welcome page. Preview Features (as the name suggests…) allow you to preview new functionality within Carveco and provide feedback on such functionality via our community forum.

Please be aware that any use of preview features should be performed in a safe environment.

The History preview feature creates a chronological list of every operation (with the exception of toolpath calculations) performed within your working session of Carveco.

This will then allow you to revert your design back to a previously recorded state, within the recorded session history.

Carveco Deactivation / License Migration

Carveco users can now migrate their Carveco license between multiple machines through an inbuilt license migration and deactivation tool, accessed via the Help > About  drop-down menu.

This feature allows you to exceed the number of concurrent installations by revoking an activate license on one machine and reactivating on another.

More information on Deactivation can be found in the Licensing section of the Help Centre.
