This is something to take up with your IT guys at work, but often it's 'what you don't know you don't know' that slows you down or holds you back, if you know it's available, and you ask, you just might get. There are various 'add-on's' that come standard with VL agreements including free home use licenses. IMHO, that extra $50 would be well worth it for the stability that goes along with LTSB.Īnother option is this, along with certain levels of Volume Licensing Agreement that your employer might have (Do you use Office 365 at work, you might be half way there already) you might well already have the rights to access the VL benefits, and can possibly already use LTSB. That's not the intent, 5 licenses of ANYTHING, there are some licenses for obscure products that are less than $10 each, so for an additional cost of $50 over the cost of Windows you get access to Volume Licensing, and that gives access to LTSB.

In order to get a VL agreement you need an initial purchase of 5 licenses, most people freak out right here 'I'm not buying 5 copies of Win 10'!! (chair) (for those of us who play in this arena). LTSB is easily obtainable via Volume Licensing, now VL seems like a messy complicated beast but it's not really.

***** Warning, boring techy crap follows***** The statement made in the article that LTSB is out of the reach of Joe Average is misleading. I get what you're saying, and I guess I could have/should have offered more info, and sadly I didn't read the whole article otherwise I would have found a 'better' one to link to, my bad. If you read to the end of that article, you'll see this:Hi Ger, Please note that this is not an official patch from Artsoft and we are making it available 'as-is' until an official release addressing this issue becomes available. You are running Windows 10 64bit 1803 build In the interest of helping those who have already been affected and can't afford to wait, we've decided to make the provisional patch available as an interim solution while the official fix undergoes further due diligence.ġ. We are working together with the Mach development team to further validate this patch as they work to deliver an official release in the near future. We've investigated the cause and developed a provisional patch to the Mach3 (version 3.043.062) application binary that has demonstrated effectiveness in resolving the issue.

Like many in the CNC community, we and our customers have been affected by the Windows 10 (64bit), version 1803 update issue that leaves the Mach3 application unable to completely load (after profile selection, the splash screen will render and then disappear as the application crashes).
