Management and Support

1. Software Management

License Management
- Pano2VR operates on a paid, perpetual license model.
- Licenses are version-based: purchasing Pano2VR 7 grants access to all updates within the 7.x series, but does not include version 8 updates.
- Licenses are managed through the GARDENGNOME Store Account.
User Management
- Pano2VR is installed on a per-computer basis, with the license key required during installation.
- The license allows use on multiple devices for the same user (refer to the GARDENGNOME license policy for details).
Version Control
- Ensure all team members are using the same version of Pano2VR to avoid compatibility issues with projects.
- Minor updates (e.g., 7.1 → 7.2) are free, while major upgrades require the purchase of a new license.
Data Management
- Organize projects by maintaining consistent folder structures (e.g., input panoramas, skins, HTML5 outputs).
- Store project files (.p2vr) and associated assets in centralized storage for team collaboration.
- Implement version control or backup systems for large projects.

Regularly apply updates to fix bugs and enhance performance.
Ensure the operating system and graphics drivers are kept up to date.
Periodically clean out unused cache and temporary files to optimize performance.
Back up custom skins, templates, and configuration files to prevent data loss during reinstallation.
