  • Cause / Solution 2

    Disney pattern you selected is not available for your machine.
    Disney patterns can only register one cutting machine per activation code.
    The machine you tried to read the Disney pattern is different from the machine that was selected when you activated the Disney content with CanvasWorkspace. (Machine number does not match)
    Read the Disney pattern with the machine that was selected when you activated its content.

    The cutting machine selected when the “Pattern collection” such as the Disney pattern was activated can be changed to other cutting machines up to two times. For details, refer to How To Change the Registered Machine Number That Imports The Optional Pattern Collection (Ex. Disney Pattern and Calligraphy Pattern/Font).
