Installing a Legacy Version of Silhouette Studio on Windows PC

If you are on a PC and you need to install an older version of Silhouette Studio, you'll first need to remove (uninstall) the current version of the software on your computer. Then you'll be able to move forward with installing the Legacy Silhouette Studio version.

Installing an Older Version of Silhouette Studio on MAC

MAC users do not need to uninstall the newer version of Silhouette Studio prior to installing the Legacy version of the software. If you're using a MAC you'll be given the option to keep multiple versions of the software on your computer at the same time or override the previously installed version.
