Download Accelerators


Question. Can I use a download accelerator to download the license?

Answer. No. Download accelerators will attempt to download file license.php. This is the wrong file. This is a script that creates the license. Browsers will execute the script and download the license. Download accelerators will try to download the script instead of executing the script.


Question. What is the best way to restore normal browser functionality?

Answer. In the Windows Control Panel choose Add or Remove Programs and uninstall the download accelerator. This is the best way.
