There are insufficient user permissions to access the locations where VTube license files are created. Make sure that the program is first executed with administrator privileges created. Once the license files are created, the application may be run without administrator privileges.

The VTube Internet license control can use restricted areas of the file system and registry for license and license file aliases. VTube must be allowed to open/create your license file and any aliases with Elevated Administrator permissions (only once) so that full read/write access can be granted all users. All recent versions of our licensing clients automatically set these permissions whenever these files are opened, so there is no need on your part to do anything other than open your main license file and aliases.
