Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 6, 2017 you need a number for vinylmaster and not any number on your plotter. if you purchased it from usc give them a call before they close Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyStickerCo 0 Posted January 7, 2017 The PSN is the Product Serial Number. This is the "Key" that comes with the software that you are using. Mine was on a card labelled "Product Key" with a yellow sticker with the numbers on it. This is what you need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Robin H Posted March 11, 2017 WHY did I not open the box before today??? I have been looking forward all week to spending the entire weekend with my new cutter. I have so many t-shirts and rolls of vinyl and foil that I can hardly move around. And I'm so excited getting everything the stand assembled and cutter mounted. I then read how to get the software and there you have it... no green card, no card at all. All that was in the box was the screws, blades, power, usb and serial cables. Nothing in my emails. Nothing on my invoice that was emailed to me. No printed invoice in the box. While it's not the end of the world, being let down like this really.... REALLY sucks. USCutter gets all these good reviews, which is what led me to their product. But yet so many people say the same thing that there's no PSN number to download the software with. How can they forget such an important item time, after time, after time? And no way to get this resolved over the weekend. So, no obviously I'm not going to ship this cutter back over something like this. But I absolutely won't be supporting this company by buying blades, vinyl, tape and other supplies.

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 12, 2017 Robin H, while you wait you might go ahead and download Inkscape (free to all) and begin the arduous task of learning vector art. If you have a design built and ready to cut I think you can still get a 7 day free trial of SignCut Pro and you can get up and running for the interim. The program you got with your cutter is only one of many options available for design or cutting. I am a dedicated Adobe Illustrator design guy myself and use the SignCut Pro program as my cutting tool of choice. Most of the new cutters are either coming with Sure Cuts a Lot or Vinyl Master. VM is a much more robust program and has a regular tech on the forum to help newbies out. Hopefully you have VM that would be my suggestion if asked. You may find (if you give it a chance) that USCutter, while yes they are closed on weekends, offers by far the best support and product services of any of the suppliers out there. I realize there are hiccups now and again but they have always been more than helpful and supportive when given the chance. I am a mod here on the forum but not a company employee. I run a little side business out of my home and have switched over pretty much exclusively to USC after finding them and having good success, let alone great pricing.

Guest ticked Posted July 23, 2017 Just got mine in as well, on late Friday, and guess what, NO CARD WITH KEY, and it will not take the serial number off the machine, so I also have a pile of merchandise sitting here for the whole weekend that I can do nothing with. Yes, that royally pisses me off. If I could send it back I would, just for the principle of it because its obviously an ongoing problem that I am sure they are well aware of, yet they haven't bothered to fix it. I've never dealt with this company before. I've heard they are great. But from what I see from the very start I am more than dissatisfied, disgusted and downright very very ticked off. Mainly because they know its a problem yet still send it this way to new customers. First impressions are lasting. They just ruined their rep with me.

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted July 23, 2017 So while you are writing this, why don't you download the trial version and get to work. until you get the code? You could have already been working. The trial versions are available for both Vinyl Master and Sure Cuts A lot.,and Signcut. which ever you chose. Many people still just like the FREE version of Signblazer and have been using it for years, as long as you have Windows PC. You have more options, you just didn't seek those options out, Instead of throwing some childish tantrum, you could have just asked the forum what you could do until you got the Key. Super nice people here, who volunteer their time to help...With that attitude for a business, you might as well send the cutter back now, and nobody here will care. You won't last long. This job requires patience, 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
