Download Trial or Activate Your LightBurn License – User Guide

If you’re new to LightBurn, you can either start with a free trial or activate a purchased license. Both options allow you to explore LightBurn’s powerful features for laser engraving and cutting. This guide explains how to download, install, and activate LightBurn step by step.

LightBurn offers a fully functional 30-day free trial. The software is identical to the licensed version, allowing you to test all features without limitations.

To get started:

• Go to the official LightBurn download page and select your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
• Install the software by following on-screen instructions.
• On first launch, choose to start the free trial or enter your license key if already purchased.

2. Enter your license key exactly as provided.
3. Click 'Activate License' and wait for confirmation.
