name when it is directly loaded in Art & Stitch.
Licensing
When using Art & Stitch for the first time, the quilter must enter some information to activate the license.
Refer to the instructions in the Art & Stitch software box for offline activation. All network connections
have intentionally been disabled on the Pro-Stitcher computer to prevent the computer from downloading
updates or viruses that would adversely affect the performance of Pro-Stitcher.
Using a mouse or keyboard
Many functions in Art & Stitch are much simpler when using a mouse and keyboard. When using the
pop-up keyboard, it may be necessary to press an area on the screen where the text is to be entered
before typing on the keyboard. While the pop-up keyboard is a quick keyboard solution, it may be more
convenient to use a conventional mouse and keyboard. The Pro-Stitcher computer works with most wired
and wireless USB keyboards and mice. Just plug the keyboard, mouse, or wireless dongle into an available
USB port, wait a minute for Windows to install appropriate drivers, and then use the keyboard or mouse. A
USB hub may be used to expand the number of available USB ports. Keyboards, mice, and USB hubs can be
purchased from most electronics retailers.
