Software License¶
About This Software¶
MediaPipe4U is not open-source software and is licensed through a proprietary license. Currently, the same license can be used across multiple computers.
The plugin contains a license file located in the directory:
Plugins/MediaPipe4U/Source/MediaPipe/license
If you obtain a new license, replace the existing file in this directory to update the license validity period.
If the license expires (e.g., due to expiration), the plugin's core functionalities (such as motion capture and facial expression capture) will become unavailable. However, this will not cause the program to crash.
