However, because of some added features and functions, it will be necessary for CAMEO 4 users to update their software.

Silhouette CAMEO 4 Software

Before cutting on the Silhouette CAMEO 4, users must download and install Silhouette Studio 4.3.240 or higher. As of this writing, this version of the software is available as an Open Beta software. As are all software updates, this is a free update available directly from the Silhouette America website.

This version of the Silhouette software can be used by anyone - with or without - a CAMEO 4 machine and if you are getting a CAMEO 4 you can download the software prior to receiving your machine so you're ready!

Keep in mind, Silhouette CAMEO 4 options won't appear in the software unless a CAMEO 4 has been connected and powered on.

Will Silhouette Studio Upgrades Transfer to CAMEO 4?

The other big question about upgrading to a Silhouette CAMEO 4 is whether one time paid software upgrades will work with the new Silhouette machine. The answer is yes! If you were using Designer Edition, DE+ and Business Edition - they will all work with Silhouette CAMEO 4 and you do not need to repurchase.

If you now have two Silhouette machines you might want to consider upgrading to Business Edition, if you haven't already. This upgrade will allow you to run multiple machines at the same time cutting down your production time.

You can purchase Business Edition from standard if you are running the free version of Silhouette Studio or you can purchase a prorated partial upgrade to go from DE to Business or DE+ to Silhouette Studio Business Edition.

Do you know if any of the other graphtec cutters will be updating to being able to use the studio software?
