  • This release now comes with a go-live license that allows you to distribute the software that you create with this release to your customers, along with any components you might use from the Blend SDK for Silverlight 5. More information about this can be found in the updated End-user license agreement that comes with the product.
  • We updated the Silverlight 5 SDK that is installed with Blend to the RTM version of Silverlight 5.

Before installing this release, please uninstall any previous version of Blend Preview for Silverlight 5, or Blend SDK Preview for Silverlight 5. You do not need to uninstall the Silverlight 5 runtime, Silverlight 5 SDK, or the Visual Studio tools for Silverlight 5.
