Installing Silhouette Software On Your Computer
Were going to be installing Silhouette Studio® on a Mac®, but the steps are very similar for installing on a PC or installing Mint Studio.
Download Software From Website
- Navigate to warwickbromleyfiles.co.uk.
- Select your operating system Mac® from the drop down menu under Silhouette Studio® or Mint Studio.
- Click “Download.” Once the software has finished downloading, click to open.
Your download speed will vary on your internet connection. I’m using Google Chrome as my web browser, so keep in mind that your download might show up differently if you’re using Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Follow Directions To Install Software
- Follow installation instructions as prompted by your computer.
There will be some differences between installing the software on a PC or a Mac®, but each operating system is very good at taking you step by step.
You will need administrator permission to install the software. On personal computers, this is usually your regular login information. If you are not an administrator, you will have to get the login information to continue with the install.
- Read through the license agreement and click, “I Agree.”
Register Your Machine
You must register your machine if you want to use the warranty or access the free exclusive shapes that come with your purchase. To register your machine:
- Fill out the form provided. All fields are required to complete registration.
Please note that your Silhouette’s serial number is located on the back (not bottom!) of your machine.
- Select “Register.”
If youve already registered a machine,you can skip this part by selecting Ive Already Registered or Later. If you choose Later, and you havent already registered a machine, dont forget to come back and do so, otherwise your warranty will not be valid.
Once you have finished registering your machine, you will see the main screen for Silhouette Studio®. You are ready to create!
