the quotation marks are just to highlight what to type - DONT type them! 1. Click the Windows Start Button 2. In the search field search programs and files type "cmd" and hit ENTER 3. Type "cd" add a space and drag the tra.exe into the command prompt-window 4. Now you see the path to the tra.exe remove the tra.exe at the end of the path because you need only the path. 5. Type "tra/g" 6. Write down the Serial-Nr. usually a string like: IKFMX-3FQI3-FUVCB-YC0EY-3F6H 7. Fill out the Thea-Render License form with the Name, Email & Serial-Nr. DONT click Activate! 8. Switch to the MISC-Tab and Export the License-File. 9. Take the exported license File and drop it on the tra.exe 10. The tra.exe activates the license and writes a license.tra file. 11. In Thea-Render goto the License form/ MISC-Tab and Import the license.tra 12. Restart Thea-Render and Thea runs with all plugins activated. 13. If Thea-Render starts in Client-Mode too bad you just having the same proble m like in Thea-Render 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3 Thanks MrBee for Activator and IN10Se for detail installation guides!
