Uninstall previous versions.
Clear previous licenses in the “%PUBLIC%\Documents\STL\” folder.
.account, *.trl, *.sub, *.lic
Be careful, Team VR sets the “system” attribute for these files.
On some computers it should be invisible.
For newbies who can’t find the previous license:
Open a command prompt. And enter the following commands.
cd %PUBLIC%\Documents\STL
attrib /s -s -h -r
All files should now have normal attributes.
Blocking access to 127.0.0.1 userarea.stltones.com
We can see which hosts the application is trying to connect to,
but it would be preferable if the user blocked all connections using a firewall or something similar.
We always test our releases only on a standalone computer.
Install.
Before launching the application, run our keygen and register the product.
Enjoy!
