VinylCut-only. Do not put secrets or license strings in answers back into this tree.

1. ~~**Activation on Monitor-PC:**~~ **Answered 2026-09-05 — activated.**
2. ~~**Which cutter(s) should Monitor-PC drive first**~~ **Skipped for now (2026-09-05) — Eric deferred hardware; continue software-only learning.** Re-open when ready: Vinyl4 / V-Smart / V-Series / V-Auto and expected USB / connection name in VinylCut.
3. ~~**Contour cut practice hardware / printer source:**~~ **Skipped with hardware (2026-09-05).** Re-open when a contour-capable cutter and print source are chosen.
4. **Default cut presets:** Any shop-standard speed / force / offset / blade presets Vector must use (or must not change) on Monitor-PC? *(Can wait until a cutter is attached.)*
5. **Seat policy:** Is this Monitor-PC install a dedicated training seat, or a production seat that must stay deactivated/movable?
6. **File locations:** Where should practice project files live on Monitor-PC (and which folders are off-limits)? Preferred native save extension / naming if you care.
7. **Version pin:** Stay on **5.028** as installed, or upgrade toward builds that include 5.030 registration-mark materials?
