License & Activation
VECTOR FEED is a commercial product. Upon purchase, a license key is delivered via email from VCB-AI. This key must be activated before the software can be used. For licensing inquiries: vector@vcb-ai.online.
Email Delivery
License keys are sent to the email address provided at checkout. Each email contains:
- Your unique license key (e.g.,
VF-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) - Links to download the licensed version
- Activation instructions
If you do not receive your license key within 15 minutes of purchase, check your spam/promotions folder or contact VCB-AI support.
