Hi, ive performed a clean install of windows, but kept the original Verge folder structure with apps and all, how do i get all the apps back into app manager, ready to work with, without loosing the original links to the apps? so that i would not have to give my customers new links when i want to update the apps?

Hi,

The Verge3D Network folder is tied to your license key, hence all links will be preserved independently on the machine you run Verge3D.

As for the app folder, just assign the previous one in the settings or startup screen.

Hi Alex, thanks for the response,

“The Verge3D Network folder is tied to your license key, hence all links will be preserved independently on the machine you run Verge3D.”

Hi,
Perhaps we have some misunderstanding here. Verge3D Network folder and your applications folder are completely different things. The former is kept remotely, the later is stored locally on your hard drive. To retrieve network folder your should just enter your license key, to retrieve app folder you need to assign proper path in the App Manager settings (or startup screen if it appears).

ok thanks, ive now installed the newest version of verge, i entered the app-manager, typed in the license key, theres no apps in the list yet, i know if i enter the network directory, all the apps are there, now i want to start working with my currently excisting apps, and retain the original link, so my customers dont have to update on their side, how is this done i practical terms?

Hi Michael,

You can point to the folder with your existing apps at first start of the App Manager:

If this screen is no longer shown (not the first launch), then you can still do it in the settings:
