To test GMFC, download the xx.zip file, unzip it and run install_gmfc_xx_en.exe . You may run GMFC through the Windows start menu. At startup time, GMFC will display in the about screen, the software code that uniquely identifies your copy of GMFC. GMFC is fully functional for 30 days after the first run.
Getting the license
If you have a GGC adapter, please follow the instructions on the GGC adapter page.
If you have a parallel port based motor interface, just run GMFC. You will get this window at startup.
Click on the “Get License” button to display the code
The parallel port driver is fully integrated with Windows XP and later versions (32bits versions of Windows only). It allows to choose the parallel port. Open the device manager, there is now a Hotwire device. Open the property page of the MM2001 driver and then, the configuration page. Select the parallel port to which the MM2001 interface is connected. You need then to reboot. After reboot, when clicking on the MM2001 configuration page, the “Time between interrupts” field shows the time in microseconds between two interrupts. That permits to see if the driver works, without launching GMFC.
