–Go to the download page of the Silhouette America website. To start with Lesson 1 of the Before You Begin series, go here. Since it is a free software, it can be put on as many computers as you like. The regular download will be the same as the update. On the website, you will see the option to Update Software. The instructions here will also pertain to the other software I discussed in our previous lesson. The Basic version of Silhouette Studio is free to anyone and may be downloaded from the Silhouette America website at any time. By downloading the software from the website you are certain you are getting the most recent version, which I always recommend doing. Many newer computers will not have a disc drive, as most software can now be obtained online. That’s actually for the best, because the disc was frequently out of date because of the time difference between packing and purchase. It’s also wise to start learning the software while you wait for your machine delivery if you order it online.Īlthough software discs used to be included in machines, they aren’t any longer. This is a great way to see how your computer handles the software.
It’s a great idea to download and install the software before you even purchase a machine, just to take it for a test drive. All Silhouette cutting machines use a free included software called Silhouette Studio.
