Many users of the Premier+2 embroidery software are currently experiencing problems activating the software on new computers. This is because the manufacturer, VSM (Husqvarna Viking / PFAFF), has permanently shut down the activation servers. As a specialist retailer, we are equally unhappy about this situation, but we would like to summarize all the important information and possible solutions for you.

Why can't I activate my Premier+2 USB stick software anymore?

The Premier+2 USB stick software was activated via the manufacturer VSM's servers. These servers have since been permanently shut down. Therefore, reinstallation or activation on a new computer is no longer possible.


Can I still use Premier+2 on my old computer?

Yes, if the software is already installed and activated, it will continue to work on your existing device. Problems only arise if you try to activate the software on a new PC or after a fresh installation.


What successor software is available?

The successor to Premier+2 is the mySewnet Platinum software, now offered under the name Creativate Elite . This version is technically up-to-date, is regularly updated, and is compatible with modern operating systems.


Is there an upgrade from Premier+2 to the new software?

Yes. If you purchase the discounted upgrade from us, we, as a specialist retailer, will provide you with an activation code for the latest software generation (mySewnet Platinum / Creativate Elite). This ensures you are future-proof and can continue to use all the features of the modern embroidery software.

Can I contact the manufacturer directly?

If you are not satisfied with the upgrade suggestion, we recommend contacting the manufacturer VSM (Husqvarna Viking / PFAFF). However, reactivating Premier+2 on new computers is no longer generally supported.


Why is there no permanent solution for Premier+2?

The manufacturer made the decision to shut down the activation servers. As a retailer, we have no influence over this and are also unhappy with this development. To ensure continued, unrestricted operation, we recommend switching to the new Creativate Elite embroidery software .


Conclusion

The Premier+2 embroidery software can no longer be activated on new computers. Existing installations will continue to work, but new installations are blocked. As a secure and modern solution, we recommend upgrading to the successor software , mySewnet Platinum / Creativate Elite . With our discounted upgrade, you'll receive an activation code for the latest version.
