Why?
- A Firewall can block specific features of the software from performing correctly
- Your layouts are saved locally on your system, so Anti Virus will require an exclusion to allow
- A VPN can block connection to our verification server when connecting
- A network ADBlocker can cause issues on the actual network when connecting to our verification server
