I design using a trial version of LightBurn at home, then transfer the files to another computer connected to the laser. I purchase hours to use the laser. Would Core be sufficient for designing? I then transfer the designed files to the Pro version.
You would need to purchase the Pro version and that will let you load it onto 3 computers. No need for the core version

If I understand the question correctly you are using a laser at a makerspace or similar and they have Lightburn pro on the computer there. You want to know if you can use the core license at home and just transfer the lbrn2 files to the other computer for use, correct?
I believe the answer is yes. You might have to do some tweaking of origin or position once you get to the other machine though.
Worst case scenario is you buy core and it doesn’t work for you, (but I think it will) you would need to upgrade to pro. The cost to upgrade from core to pro = the same cost as if you purchased pro to begin with, so there is no downside to trying core first.

Once purchased, if you want to design for a galvo or DSP, you need the pro as some of the options will be missing.

Yes, that’s exactly it. I tend to use only three functions: offsetting from an object, rotating an object, and correcting points. I also change the radii when I have rounded elements. I transfer the finished drawings from the DFX file to Lightburn and do just those things there.
