Irontoe Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi everybody, I have been offered a couple of Gravograph machines, one is the same model as my current one but with a better software package, however the machine is older and isn't in as good a condition as mine. If I were to buy it, could I swap the dongle over to upgrade my machines software? Is it as simple as plugging the dongle in to my PC? I use explorer at the moment and their's has the gravostyle Max. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeemz Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 if you mention model names of machines and software versions of both it will help in answering this question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both machines are the M40, I'm currently running gravostyle 7, explorer theirs has the gravostyle 5. I did make enquiries with gravograph and it seems their software would need to be upgraded to be compatible with my PC so I don't think they are the bargain they first seemed! Thanks anyway.

hakeemz Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 can seller not give you their old pc running the software, you just change the machine , this way dongle can stay in old pc and work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontoe Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 To be honest, I only wanted the ring engraver that was being sold as a part of the package, I had just thought that if the dongle could be swapped over to upgrade my software it would have been a bonus. I believe they've managed to sell both machines now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
