● Disable the Windows Firewall and your anti-virus software for the time of installation.
● Download the current version of DrawCut PRO at http://www.draw-cut.com/#downloads
and follow the installation wizard.
● Find your 26-digit DrawCut serial number on the printout that was delivered with your
flatbed vinyl cutter. Enter it when you are prompted to do so.
● Now you can use DrawCut PRO.
