How many hundreds of thousands of dollars did the commercial CNC cost, and it used a desktop, user-focused rolling update OS instead of a server OS?

- Shared404 6y agoDunno. We're just the repair shop that wound up installing win7 instead, because the CNC only supported windows.
- AaronFriel 6y agoCan I sell you some LTSC licenses? Windows 7 is no longer supported and you now have devices not receiving security updates that are (if they're getting updates) connected to the internet.
- Shared404 6y agoHow much are they? We don't have any sort of contractual set-up with the company using the CNC machine, they just brought it to us and said "fix". According to that company though, the machine is disconnected most of the time, only being connected occasionally to update the CNC software. Edit: And yes, I'm well aware Win7 isn't supported. However, as it is almost always offline, working is better than not working. All of that being said, I may be interested in getting a few if you can sell not in bulk.
- AaronFriel 6y agoAh, dang, I don't have access to that portal anymore. Looks like the price is between $200 and $250 for a perpetual license. Just call CDW or one of the major manufacturers - Dell, HP Enterprise, etc. They can all sell you windows 10 LTSC volume licenses.
- Shared404 6y agoAh well, thanks for checking. I think 200$ a license is a bit out of range for me anyways.
