I have an original Silhouette Cameo. My LSS is having a class that will (hopefully) get me to use it.  They sent me a link so I can download the latest version of the software. I am wondering if the latest version will work with the original Cameo or just on the Cameo 3? Any help would be appreciated. |

Don't know if this is helpful or not....I have an original Cameo and I have not updated my software in probably 2 or 3 years. I heard too many horror stories about cameos that wouldn't work or libraries that disappeared.
The last update I did was when I was forced to because of a change with the online store. If I didn't update I would not be able to purchase files.
My cameo works just fine and I am able to cut, trace, draw, etc.
There is a blogger who specializes in Cameo & Cricuts. I will link to her blog when I get home later. You could always email her and ask her.
ETA: this blog is a great cameo & cricut resource cleversomeday.com |

I have the original cameo and do the updates. I haven’t had any problems but I’ll back up my library before the update just in case.

I have had mine since 2012, so not sure if it is original, but all of the updates have worked for me. I have the Designer Edition for software.

Bsck up your library first, but the newer software should work fine on your Cameo. I have the Cameo 2, not 3. Updates do work. I did lose part of my library temporarily, but I had backed it up, and I got it all back with help from Silhouette chat.

I also have the original Cameo (I think, it's from 2009) and haven't upgraded to the newest version because of the horror stories I've heard. But the software is compatible. scrapnnana maybe I will try updating it sooner than later! |
