Al is correct as usual.
To add to this, we also have 6 other web-sites and the best known one is www.cnccontrols.com where you can find both short and long videos to download.
We understand what you're asking, but there hasn't been a working demo offered of CNC Lite since 1998. CNC Lite doesn't offer a full simulation mode and would take hardware to see a machine move, plus there are some reseller contract issues we have to deal with.
We do have an interactive Demo CD and brochure that we can UPS you. This provides a lot of technical information, interactively with demo's that you can use as a presentation to show others. The Demo CD has about 20 videos of CamSoft retrofits made by people just like you that documented their installations using hand held video cameras. The next question we always get asked is if the Demo CD can be downloaded. No, it's massive and needs to be installed.
We also offer students and schools a Teaching Package that is really CNC Professional discounted by 90% which we don't have to pay royalties on if we can show a student or school is purchasing it.
The Teaching Package includes a fully functional CAD/CAM teaching package with graphic simulation and post processors for almost every major brand of CNC, but without hardware, so it can't move a real machine. It can write G code for these machines that will cut parts. The Teaching Package is our full version of CNC Professional and manuals, complete with ready to run CNC operator interface for 9 CNC machine types to show, test and demo with.
It includes sample parts that you can show and demo customers with as well as a complete design CAD/CAM system to make new parts with. The package has a full CNC operator and logic simulation mode to teach CNC, simulate parts graphically and prove out , write and test I/O logic.
The cost for the teaching package is discounted 90% for universities, schools or technical institutes. It has unlimited use for 9 machine types for $495.
Let one of the ladies in the front office here know that you want a free Demo CD and we'll send one out to you.
