License Generator

License Generator enables usage of (select) scripts by ikt. It checks if you are eligible for a license through Patreon. If you are, it generates a unique license for your system.

Scripts that use this license will automatically detect and use it.

Download

The download for the latest License Generator is linked in your Patreon membership page.

Features

• Unrestricted number of activations on any number of systems as long as eligible^[1]
• License stays forever valid for activated system configuration^[2]
• Scripts are 100% offline regarding license: everything stays on your system^[3][4]

(Check the Notes section for more information.)

Usage

1. Make sure the game is closed.
2. Launch LicenseGenerator.exe.
   1. The tool detects and backups existing licenses when you opt to create a new license.
3. Log in through Patreon in the opened window.
   1. If the window does not open or if you are logged into an eligible Patreon account in a different browser, the URL in the browser or in the tool can be copied and pasted into another browser.
4. If you are eligible, the license generator will now generate a license file (at %localappdata%\ikt\License\).
5. The license generator is now finished and can be closed.
6. The game can now be started, and the installed scripts automatically pick up the license.

Troubleshooting

Check the FAQ for tips if any issue occurs.

If you can’t resolve it yourself, please let me know: Discord.

Please DM me from %localappdata%\ikt\License\, the following files

• LicenseGenerator.log
• 0.0.lic (or any other .lic file)
• And logs from the affected script (e.g. Gears.log).

Backups

After generating the license and making sure it works, it’s a good idea to back up your license in case you’re factory resetting your computer, or wipe the drive that stores your localappdata.

The license should be generated in %localappdata%\ikt\License\ and it can be restored to the same location. After restoring the license file, scripts should pick it up and be activated again automatically.

If no backups are made, re-subscribing is necessary to generate a new license.

Notes

1. You’re eligible when you have an active pledge with the account that authorizes License Generator.
2. Swapping out multiple core components may cause the system to be expired for the license. Re-generation of the license is needed in this situation.
3. Only the License Generator connects with Patreon to check if you are eligible. The scripts only check the license file locally. The scripts themselves may or may not individually check select GitHub repositories to notify for updates or to pull in data required for the script to work.
4. The License Generator must be able to connect with Patreon to verify you’re eligible. Make sure your computer has access to Patreon.com.
