| Aspect | Finding | Remarks | |--------|---------|---------| | | Not portable | Installing directly to a USB drive from the installer typically fails because registry entries and system files are written to the host OS. | | License Binding | Machine-locked | Most industrial cutting software (including CutMate versions) binds the license to the host computer’s hardware. Moving the drive to another PC will likely break the license. | | Portable Version Availability | Unlikely | The vendor does not advertise an official “portable” version.
