Overview
Dongle based licenses
Software based licenses

Designer licenses are available through disguise Cloud, available for free through the dashboard. The Designer license can be stored on your dongle.

Sign up for your free license here.

The physical dongle is USB based and can be used to host other supported licenses such as Notch as well as Designer.

The software based option is tied to your physical machine, and currently cannot be moved between machines. The software based option is ideal for customers who do not often switch machines and are happy to have less portability.

Warning: Notch blocks cannot currently be pre-visualised using the software based license. This is due to Notch licensing limitation.

    2. The second part is the license itself, which, after purchase from the Disguise web store, will be emailed to you in the form of a link.

  2. Once you have the two items, you can proceed to activate your license.

  1. Ensure you have the latest version of Disguise software downloaded and installed on your machine.

  2. Ensure your USB dongle is plugged in

  3. Using google chrome, go to the web depot

Your Designer license is now on the USB dongle and will begin counting down usage time when Disguise software is launched for the first time.
