Getting a users License Key - Radiosity file for testing

Arthur made a special version of the Download Manager so we can get hold of the Radiosity.HDR file so we can test a users License Key against some feature. For example very useful when checking MyLumion account and upload issues.

Save the exe in the GDrive folder - currently the Download Manager is named Lumion_12_5_Download.exe

and just follow these steps from Arthur:

ok, what this tool does:
- it download the .Radiosity in a Temp folder (it's displayed after you run it)

how it works:
- it is a custom DM
- converts the .000 or 1d.bin into the .HDR
- saves in a temp folder
- works name based: if you want to download a L11 license, rename it to Lumion_11_0_Download.exe. same for L10, L9, etc

---------------------------------------------------

1. Setting your License Key to the Users:

Once you have the Radiosity file go to the version install on your PC: C:\Program Files\[version]\ArchitectEdition\Classes\RenderEngine.
rename the current Radiosity file to some other name.
Copy and paste or move the Radiosity file you got using Arthurs tool to the same location.
Now you can run as if you are the user with their License Key.

2. Test MyLumion:

2.1: Test MyLumion by doing a render and upload to MyLumion.
2.2: Check if you get the link in Lumion and also the email.
2.3: Use the MyLumion Management Portal button to access their MyLumion account and see what Projects and number of they have and is yours there.
