How to Properly Install a License File

If you purchased a license legitimately, here’s the correct process:

1. Download your license from the link provided in your confirmation email or from your SimHub account dashboard.
2. Open SimHub.
3. Go to Settings → License/About.
4. Click "Install License File" and select the .dat file.
5. Restart SimHub.

That’s it. No copying files manually, no registry edits, no “tops” needed.

I Lost My License File – What Now?

Do not search for a "top" or crack. Instead:

1. Check your email – Search for "SimHub" or "Patreon" in your inbox.
2. Use the recovery tool – Go to the official SimHub website and use the "Lost License" recovery page.
3. Contact support – The developer is responsive. Prove your purchase, and you’ll get a new file.

Practical checklist for maintainers (Top-of-file essentials)

1. Put the license name and year(s) on the first lines.
2. Add a clear copyright line with owner name.
3. Include the full license text or a reference to a standard license plus the full text in a LICENSE file.
4. Note any exceptions (third-party components, assets) and link to their licenses.
5. Add contributor/CLA notes only if required.
6. Keep header short but link to longer legal docs if needed.

What is the SimHub License File?

Unlike modern cloud-based software that phones home every few minutes, SimHub uses a local, encrypted license file. When you purchase a license from the official SimHub website (via Patreon or a one-time payment), you receive a file named something like SimHub.License.dat.

This file does three things:

1. Unlocks Pro Features – Unlimited dashboards, multiple shaker channels, Arduino compatibility, and no 15-minute session limits.
2. Removes the Nag Screen – The "Buy License" popup disappears.
3. Validates Offline – Once installed, SimHub can run without an internet connection because the license is stored locally.

Support and vendor responsiveness

• Documentation: Vendor provides step-by-step guides for activation and file transfer; community forums fill gaps.
• Support response: Community support is strong; official support response times vary but are typically adequate for license issues.
• Refund/transfer policy: Depends on vendor/store (e.g., direct purchase vs. third-party store). Review the purchase terms for license transfer rules.

Practical tips

• Backup the license file immediately after activation (external drive or cloud).
• Note the exact folder path where the license file is stored (AppData or SimHub folder).
• If moving PCs, use the official export/import procedure rather than copying files manually when possible.
• Keep invoice/receipt and original license key in case you need vendor support.
• Disable overly aggressive antivirus scanning for the SimHub folder or whitelist SimHub during activation to avoid quarantining the license file.

2. Custom Dashboards (No Watermark)

Create or download dashboards from RaceDepartment or the SimHub Community. Without a license, a "Powered by SimHub" watermark covers your beautiful GT3 dash. The license removes this, giving you a clean, broadcast-ready HUD.
