Is SCAL a sure thing?

Hi all! Me again :D! I have yet another question...sorry, but TIA!! Anywho, I have SCAL and have been using it with my Baby Bug for a couple of months now. And I just got my Expression this past week on which I hope to get my SCAL running very soon! As far as that is concerned, I think I just need to update my firmware. I have started to see on other boards a few questions that kinda have me worried. First off, I have NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER to get Design Studio (LOVE MY SCAL)! Now that I have SCAL downloaded onto my computer, am I safe? Will my SCAL ever quit working due to Provo Craft trying to block it? Thanks for any info...I have read and re-read this forum, but it all kinda confuses me...sorry, my stress level is ziltch nowadays!!!

If you are not using DSS with the carts then I don't see where you will have a problem. The problem comes when PC does a software update to DSS and it blocks SCAL and that only affects those trying to use both programs at the same time. Once you do the firmware, if you don't use DSS, you won't have a problem.

I have not had a problem with SCAL since I started using it in February 2008. I don't use DSS to cut with the carts so that is not a problem for me.
