No, I mean, if you're already in the program running designs and everything it isn't a problem of the dongle. The dongle prevents the program from booting up, not from cutting as far as I know.
Yeah, thats what I thought, but somehow, somewhere, I was getting these odd repeat patterns and random circles/squares all over my project.
At first I thought somehow maybe my cables got damaged so I bought new cables, no luck there. Then I changed from using a USB cable to the serial port, still got the same problem.
Oh well, my replacement dongle is being shipped out to me today. I should be back up and running by monday.
When I get my replacement dongle and if I still have these issues I'll be RMA'ing the machine itself.
