This update is available to all registered Husqvarna Viking Designer SE owners. You need the Designer SE 3D Embroidery Software CD, (3D Quickfont, 3D Organizer, Computer Connection) which came with your Husqvarna Viking Designer SE installed on a personal computer, running Windows XP. You need to have your Designer SE registered.

Your Designer SE must be registered in the VSM Software Product Registration Database in order to udpate your Designer SE. The Designer SE can only be updated via the Smart Update feature of your software. It cannot be registered from the Husqvarna Viking website.

If you are not sure if you have registered your Designer SE, please check your VSM Software Product Registration File through 3D Configure (part of your Designer SE software program).

If you need assistance registering your Designer SE, please follow the steps provided in our 3D Embroidery FAQ section, reference number H220.
