Scanning Probe with Pattern Editror

I'm considering getting a scanning probe, do I have to wait till my probe comes in order to be able to activate the pattern editor ?
Also, thank all you people for you help, you make this journey a lot more enjoyable :)

The editor should be just like buying a pattern or centerline text.

Like the keyhole bit, you have to wait until you get it in the mail. The code will come with it.

Well that's no fun..

Thank you bergerud..much appreciated.
