License Activation
Learn how to get your License activated and downloaded within minutes
Introduction
In its free Version, Durty Cloth Tool is limited in the amount of clothes you can add to your Addon Cloth Resource. This limitation shouldn't stop you from running and testing it out, in order to Get Started and find out whether it works for you.
A free project holds:
up to 5 cloth drawables per drawable type and gender
up to 10 cloth drawables in total
up to 7 texture variations per cloth drawable
up to 5 tattoos per gender, and 1 facial overlay
These limits apply wherever items are added, including when you import a DCT package. An import that reaches a limit keeps what fits and tells you once.
Buying a License
You can either directly navigate to our Patreon and choose one of the Subscription Tiers that include a Durty Cloth Tool License, or alternatively check out our easy Pricing Overview on our Website.
Feel free to test out Durty Cloth Tool for completely free without any risks, to see whether it fits your needs. Keep in mind the free version is limited in the size of Cloth Resources you can create with it.
Simply download it and use it without a license to check it out. Please consider supporting us by getting a license to lift those limits and receive full support ❤️
How to receive your Durty Cloth Tool license
Before continuing make sure to have an active and running Durty Cloth Tool Subscription, see Buying a License for details 💪

This video shows the manual Forge download workflow, which remains available as a fallback:
📃Step by Step Text Guide
Your Durty Cloth Tool benefits are tied to your Patreon account. Durty Cloth Tool can now sign in to Forge, show your subscription and license status, and activate an eligible license on this device for you.
Step 1: Sign in from Durty Cloth Tool
Open Durty Cloth Tool.
Click the account and license area in the upper-right corner.
Select Sign in with Discord. Complete the Discord prompt in your browser and allow it to return to Durty Cloth Tool.
The account panel then shows your Forge name, subscription, available license, device lock, and renewal or expiry information.
Step 2: Connect Your Patreon Profile if needed
If Durty Cloth Tool cannot find an active subscription, use the Forge management link in the subscription section to open your Forge profile.
In your Forge account, click on your profile picture > Profile > Connect Patreon Profile.
Follow the Patreon prompt to authenticate and allow Pleb Masters: Forge to access your Patreon pledge details.
After authorization, you’ll be redirected to your profile with subscription details and premium benefits displayed. Return to Durty Cloth Tool and refresh the account status.
Step 3: Activate this device
Select the license you want to use if more than one is available.
Review the device-lock information.
Select Activate on this device and confirm the lock.
If the license is available or is already locked to this device, Durty Cloth Tool downloads it, verifies it, and activates it without requiring a restart.
Activation locks the selected license to this device for the current subscription period. It cannot normally be moved to a different device until the next period begins.
Step 4: Stay activated automatically
When Durty Cloth Tool starts while you are online, it checks for a renewed subscription period and eligible tier upgrades. A license that still belongs to this device is refreshed automatically. A tier upgrade is also applied automatically while the current device lock remains valid, so you do not need to lock or download the license again yourself.
Your verified local license remains usable when you are offline. Signing out of Forge does not remove that local license.
Manual activation and download
You can still manage and download the license manually at any time:
Go to Pleb Masters: Forge and sign in with Discord.
Open Account > Licenses, then open the license you want to use.
In Durty Cloth Tool, open Account & License and copy your Hardware ID.
Enter that Hardware ID in Configure License Hardware Id on Forge, save it, and download the license.
Load the downloaded file from the Durty Cloth Tool license window, or place it next to the Durty Cloth Tool executable (
*.exefile).
That’s it! You’re now ready to enjoy Durty Cloth Tool without the free tier limits.

Why does it lock my Hardware Id?
To prevent unauthorized sharing and use on multiple devices, the Durty Cloth Tool license is locked to the specified Hardware ID (HWID) for the duration of each subscription period, typically 30 days. This means that once the license is downloaded, it’s bound to that HWID and can’t be moved to another device until the subscription resets after 30 days. However, you can still download your license at any time during this period, even though the HWID remains fixed.
For users who need access on multiple devices, we offer pricing options to purchase additional licenses at an attractive rate. In special cases, like upgrading your PC hardware or moving to another personal device, we can also assist with unlocking the HWID before the 30-day period is up. This license binding helps us ensure fair usage while providing flexible solutions for various device needs.
One device per subscription period
A Durty Cloth Tool license covers one device per subscription period. Activating it on another device ends its use on the device it was previously on, which returns to the free tier. Account & License explains this when it happens.
You stay signed in either way, so you can activate on whichever device you are actually working on.
Known Issues and Solutions
If activation is not current, sign in through the account and license area and refresh the status. You can also download the current license manually from Forge and load it in Durty Cloth Tool.
⚠️ Warning triangle in Account & License
This is possibly caused by a hardware id change that might have happened due to some hardware related change on your PC. In this case please create a ticket on our Discord in order to get this resolved :)
❓License not recognized in folder
The license may belong to a previous subscription period. Sign in and refresh the license status while online. If automatic activation is unavailable, re-download it from the licenses overview.
Sometimes it is possible for your Computer related Hardware Id to change due to anything adjusted in your Setup. Verify this by comparing the Hardware Id from the Account & License window in Durty Cloth Tool, with the Hardware Id entered on your License Details page. In such cases please create a Support Ticket on our Discord in order to get your Hardware Id unlocked.
