Maybe a dumb question but I assume that laser pointer are managed by the software, is it possible to adapt a laser to an older cutter?

It would probably be easier to find Flexistarter 8.6 v2 or above software. It has it's own contour cutting program in it  Works for most any vinyl cutter. No laser needed. . using the blade, in the middle of the registration mark. The software records it. 

 If you do a search online, you can find some instructions to contour cut without a laser.

I believe VM has a contour cut ability as well. The laser is just a visual reference to help you line up the registration points. You can do the same using the blade tip, it's just a bit harder to see.

The laser also complicates the process because it is set off to the side and that offset has to be factored in. Not worth much IMO.
