Welcome to the forum! You can get Carveco Maker or Maker Plus for a monthly subscription. These are basically the same as the Vectric products and you'll be able to do your CAD/CAM work and generate G-code for your machine. You can decide later if you want to shell out for buying software. There are a couple of good Carveco groups on FB with guys quick to answer questions and help with issues.
You can try the hobby version of Fusion 360 for free, btw. It's an entirely different program and a lot more power and features than either the Vectric or Carveco products, especially in the CAM section. But if you're planning on doing a lot of signs and text or 2.5D work then Fusion 360 isn't the best for that. I use F360 for my engineering type of flat work and Carveco for text, signs, plaques, etc.
