1.187 is the latest FREE version.

I send this email out about 5 times a day. Instructions are also on website under SUPPORT > DESIGNER SOFTWARE UPDATES:

INSTALLATION OF LATEST VERSION


If you have an old disk of the Project Designer Software, throw it in the trash
If you installed software from an old disk or if you were running version 1.182 or older, go into your control panel and remove the CarveWright installation
Go to www.carvewright.com (http://www.carvewright.com/) and down to the bottom of the page to Quick Links. Select Designer Software Updates to get the latest version of the software. NOTE: 1.187 is the latest FREE Version & 2.0 is a PAID upgrade (follow video instructions for registering 2.0)
Ignore any security warnings. Since Microsoft & other security software applications have never heard of CarveWright, you may get security warnings that we are not safe; select to Allow or Continue anyway.
You will be given the option to RUN or SAVE (OPEN IN FOLDER)

Windows Vista, 7 or 8 operating systems:
Do Not select Run & go to step 6
Windows XP operating systems:
Click Run & go to step 9
Mac operating systems:
Follow the Mac Installation Instructions


Save the file into your Downloads folder or somewhere that you can find it; or click Open in Folder
Find the Application file that you just downloaded or opened in a folder that is named “Designer_1_18(#)” (last number will change with each update)
Right-Click on it and select "Run As Administrator" from the menu to install
Follow the installation wizard
Unselect and/or disregard the “Read Me” file instructions


REGISTRATION OF PROJECT DESIGNER



After installed, you will need to register the software to your existing Customer Account
Find the Project Designer Icon on your Desktop

Windows Vista, 7 or 8 operating systems:
Right-click on the icon and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
Windows XP operating systems:
Double-click to open


Register ONLINE and select the option that says "I Already Have A CarveWright Customer Account"
You will need to know your Customer Account username & password to register
Your Customer Account password can be reset, if you cannot remember it. You must know your username & email address. Call LHR, if you do not know it. DO NOT try to create a New Customer Account as your machine serial number is already registered to YOU and that is where any other licenses that you have are registered

RE-DOWNLOADING LICENSED PATTERNS & PROJECTS


Log into your Customer Account at www.carvewright.com (http://www.carvewright.com/) under Quick Links (bottom of page)
Next to each pattern, collection and project is a download link
Double click on the ptn or mpl file to upload into Project Designer's Pattern Library
Remember projects are saved to your computer and never uploaded into your Pattern Library


NOTE: STORE ACCOUNT (where you make online purchases) & CUSTOMER ACCOUNT (where you register computers, machine & licenses) are two separate pieces of software and may have different usernames & passwords.


NOTE: Windows Vista, 7 & 8 users may want to right-click on your Project Designer Software icon > go to PROPERTIES > then ADVANCED PROPERTIES (may be named something similar) and find the option to ALWAYS RUN THIS APPLICATION AS ADMINISTRATOR.
