Does HUE Animation work on mobile devices like the iPad, iPhone or an Android tablet?
HUE Animation can be packaged and distributed across a school network as soon as it’s downloaded. We recommend saving students’ project files to a local or external drive where possible; this is because projects can become very complex, with thousands of images taken and large audio files. These large files may affect network speed and make opening and saving project files very slow.
Please note that HUE Animation Studio is sold with a single license in the pack. This means that you can only install the software on one PC or Mac. If you need to install multiple copies of the software then you will need additional licenses or, in the case of a school, a site (unlimited) licence.
If you have a site license or multi-user license, please see below for additional instructions for deploying and managing activations across the school.
Note: You can generate your offline license key here if required.
Windows
Currently the installer does not support license deployment and the best way to approach license distribution to all computers on your network is via a config file located in the folder where the application is installed. Once HUE Animation is installed, there is a *animation-app.config.example file located in the installation folder, which is usually the Program Files (x86) directory. You can fill out the fields in this file following the directions in the file. Once you have made all of your edits you can save the file as hueanimation-app.config (or “samanimation-app.config” if you are using SAM Animation). Please reference the examples below.

Typical Configuration File
Keywords:
%current_user% = Replaces with currently logged in user.
aaaaaaa-bbbbbb-ccccccc-dddddd-eeeeee Single myemail@example.com C:\\ProgramData\icreatetoeducate\hueanimation 000000000000 C:\Users\%current_user%\SAMWSpace
Conditional Configuration File
Keywords:
%current_user% = Replaces with currently logged in user.
%default% = Replaces with “My Documents” folder of currently logged in user. Note that if %default% is used the folder “SAMWorkspace” is appended to the path and auto created if it doesn’t exist.
aaaaaaa-bbbbbb-ccccccc-dddddd-eeeeee Single myemail@example.com C:\\ProgramData\icreatetoeducate\hueanimation 000000000000 %default%
Note: The configuration file in the C:\ProgramData\icreatetoeducate\hueanimation directory is for the program’s use only. Please edit the config file in the installation directory to create your license file.
If you have an issue where you get stuck at the Project Selection screen after creating your config file, please check that the path names are correct for your network configuration. Some mapped network drives may only need the drive letter without a trailing backslash.
Mac (Mac OS X/macOS)
Currently the installer does not support license deployment and the best way to approach license distribution to all computers on your network is via a configuration file. Once you have deployed HUE Animation via your Mac network, you create a configuration file similar to the one below that you can distribute across all your computer stations. You can fill out the fields in this file following the directions below or copy it from an authenticated computer. Once you have made all of your edits you can save the file as “hueanimation-app.config” and distribute/copy it to “/Users/Shared/HUE Animation” (or “/Users/Shared/SAM Animation” if you’re using an older version of the software). Please reference the examples below.
Alternatively, you can activate on one machine and then push the license file created in /Users/Shared/HUE Animation across the network.
