will vs 1 of SCAL work with a new expression (not the 2)

Post by justagirl1980 »

I have the old version of SCAL, the 1st one and I was wondering if I buy a new expression, will it still work or has provo craft blocked it now?
also, I think I used both of my installs od SCAL1, what do I do?

Thanks!

No, the new Expression (2) will not work with any version of SCAL.
Also, you may be able to get a new activation code if you can furnish craftedge with all of the info on the software. Meaning you would need the purchase information, serial number, email that it was purchased with, etc.
Is it not possible to deactivate it?
Otherwise, you may not be able to use it. Good luck. You should probably contact support at craftedge.com.

No it's not the 2, but a brand new regular expression
No, it was on a laptop that the screen got cracked on and on a desktop that would no longer work

If it is one of the original E's it should work with the above mentioned firmware.

I don't think you can change it back...
But, maybe you just need to install the driver.
Don't try to cut yet...just open scal and in the HELP section click on install driver.
It took me a couple tries...be patient...seems to me I recall it took a couple minutes.
Give it a try, maybe.
