Hiya, welcome to the forum.

If you have a standard fixed license key, you can activate 3 computers at a time. Please read here for more details: How the LightBurn license works – LightBurn Software

Here you will find minimum computer systems requirements for LightBurn: Installation & Setup - LightBurn Documentation

You will need to take some measurements to determine what camera is right for your laser. You can then use the camera selection tool table to see which camera best suits your situation: Which LightBurn Camera Should I Get?

You can see what’s changed between the versions on our website or forum.

Hi Jess,
thank you for the welcome and for your support!

Till now I have license 1.4.01 (if I use laser more Id like to buy upgrade)

I’ve only used Windows, but now I temporarily need to use a MAC
Which file I can downland for Apple? (Now I see .dmg)

Is somewhere nice different examples good laser workflow?
The thing I need to learn the most
25% cdr file editing to laser
for example a personalised photo frame
change name etc

.
.
(and maybe later on
from idea to corel to laser)

.dmg is the correct type to install on macs.

For CorelDRAW users, we have a macro available to simplify and speed up the process of sending work to LightBurn. Whether or not you have the macro installed, you can still export your work as an AI or SVG file and import into LightBurn. The macro only works on Windows computers: CorelDraw Macro Setup - LightBurn Documentation

I’m not familiar with CorelDraw, I do not have a recommendation for a workflow video. This is LightBurn’s tutorial playlist which may be helpful to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3RDzOrlCTM&list=PLwL4iB6JZSDxdnUKPOY-Qpv1DnUoLxHue&pp=iAQB

Here’s a helpful video specific to editing text: https://youtu.be/tTA-3we9R6w?si=Jtr9MX_H_f6AkFFB

Hello Jess,

please may I ask you regarding
CorelDraw Macro Setup - LightBurn Documentation

About 2 or 3 weeks ago I tried but after a few steps in 1.4 looks different
Is it possible?
For which version is actual?

Do you know when version 1.7 will be released or start?
(I am thinking about upgrade cause a cutting tool looks interesting)

Can you post images of how it looked different and describe what didn’t work for you?

If you suspect it’s the version, you can always deactivate your key (in Help>License Management) and download the free trial to test.

I do not know when 1.7 will be released. Public Release Candidate - 1.7.00
