Virt-a-mate is very limited when used without a key. If you want to unlock more functionality you must subscribe to
Meshed Vr’s Patreon. There are several tiers available including a free version if you want to just try the program out.
Free = ability to load the specific demo files.

1. You cannot save scenes or packages
2. You cannot create new animations
3. You cannot add new atoms (objects) to the scene
Entertainer Subscription = Access to "Entertainer" builds of Virt-a-Mate. "Entertainer" builds unlock the ability to save scenes and packages, allowing you to save your changes and share with others. "Entertainer" builds have the following limitations:
1. You cannot create new animations
