No you don't need a licence, it will be installed as a "trial" version that you can activate after it's up and running -
By northwalesparry · Posted
Does anyone have any advice which SCT to buy . It will be primarily visual use . -
Thanks. looked on the Microsoft site and downloaded the tool, but says you have to have a license key. This is why I bit off more than I can chew, Ass-U-Me'd that the computer would come with Win 10, as that is what it said on the amazon page. -

I'm up and running; started sequence about 3 minutes before end of astro twilight. Sky is very clear and stable, early doors yet, but 10 minutes in guiding is bobbling along nicely at around 0.5" total RMS. Clouds are forecast for around midnight, so fingers crossed that I can get 3 hours, or so L on M57. Good tuck to anyone else that's out there tonight. Geof

I am sorry that the forum moderators did not remove “Goodmojo’s” posts denigrating your sale of your Vixen ED114S. This is the sort of stuff that drags down other forums and I am sad to see that it now going on here.· 1 reply
You are wise to rethink the Vixen’s sale, though. They are as rare as hen’s teeth and excellent quality for the money. You’d miss it if you sold it. Dual rig with your other 115mm apo?
