== About VTube License Registration==

<table>

<tr valign=top>
<td width=400>
Every VTube-LASER software package installed requires both a USB dongle plus a simple registration process.<br><br>
The additional registration step helps us verify that an authorized license is being installed by one of our valued customers.<br><br>

== START - Plug in the USB License Dongle==

<table>

<tr valign=top>
<td width=400>
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>
===For First-Time Installations: You May Need to Activate the USB License 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.

===Registration Status===
A registration status message at the bottom of the box describes why you will need to register this license.<br><br>

==If You Need Help - Remote TeamViewer Support==
<table>
<tr valign=top>
<td width=400>
Our Software Maintenance Plan service also offers you free remote support for installation. (If you are installing a new license or have been given the right to install an upgrade, then your SMP will be active.)<br><br>

If you prefer to have us help you with the installation, then we can connect remotely to your computer to install the license for you.  For legitimate customers, we can register the license on your computer in a few minutes. Contact support@advancedtubular.com if you need to schedule a TeamViewer connection.<br><br>
