| − | Every VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER software package installed requires both a '''USB dongle and a simple registration process'''.<br><br>
| + | ===STEP 1=== |
| − | The steps are designed to help us verify that an authorized license is being installed by one of our valued customers.<br><br>
| + | After installation, plug in the USB dongle and run the desktop icon of VTube.</td> |
| − | We still allow you to install VTube licenses to multiple computers. However, this registration process is required for each computer on which the VTube license is installed.
| + | |
| − | === TeamViewer Support === | + | |
| − | If you have trouble with any of these steps, then please allow us to help you by connecting remotely to your computer to install the license for you. We can install a license on a computer in just a few minutes. Contact [email protected] if you need to schedule a TeamViewer connection. | + | |

| − | Plug the USB license dongle into a USB port.<br><br>
| + | |
| − | The green LED should eventually turn ON. (It may blink at first - but eventually it should stop blinking and constantly turn on.)<br><br>
| + | |
| − | ===Activate the USB Dongle===
| + | |
| − | We often ship dongles without being activated. Activation is a one-time process that puts license data on the dongle. If you have not activated the dongle using the dongle activation program, then you will need to do that now. If you have already performed this step, then you can skip to the next step.
