- Install: Extract the downloaded files or run the installer to set up the GDVP standalone app and the VST3 plug-in on your machine.
(Note: Unlicensed copies run in DEMO mode and will be interrupted by a short burst of noise about once a minute until activated.)
Phase 2: Generate and Apply Your License

Ctrl+Lto open the Product Activation panel. Click theCOPY IDbutton to copy your unique Machine ID to your clipboard (it will look likeGDVP-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX). - Issue the License: Go back to your Dashboard in the web portal and paste the Machine ID into the provided field. Click Get my license to generate and download your custom
gdvp.licensefile. - Activate: Drag and drop the downloaded
gdvp.licensefile directly onto the GDVP application window. The status will change to LICENSED, and the demo noise will instantly stop.

- Windows:
%APPDATA%\RealDocFX\GDVP\ - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/RealDocFX/GDVP/ - Linux:
