How to Activate VTube Licenses

Overview of the Two-Level Activation Process for VTube Licenses


VTube uses a two-level license process that requires:

1) A USB "hardware key" plugged into the computer to run the program on that computer, and


2) an internet activation from a software key server that activates the license on a computer one time, then checks into the server on a monthly basis.


About Two-Level Activation License STEPS

STEP 1: SET UP THE USB HARDWARE KEY ONE TIME

If you have already performed this step one time, then you can move to STEP 2.

For increased security, we ship our USB hardware keys without activation. Once you receive them, we send you a program that embeds a license into the USB hardware key.

Plug in and run the USB setup program using the link sent from Advanced Tubular. This step needs to be completed before software license activation. 

Demo licenses do not require this step


STEP 2: DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE MOST RECENT SOFTWARE BUILD
