To Access Settings For All Future Analyses

Choose File > Settings.

Choose the option you require. These settings will be used for all new analyses, including the one currently open if that has not been analyzed yet.

For many options, additional information is available as tool tips, as shown in the figure below. The settings you specify this way apply to all future analyses.

To Reset To Default

Click the Reset to Default button to undo the changes you made in the settings and go back to the default settings.

Notes

  • Clicking Reset to Default resets all tabs to the default settings, not only the tab that is currently open.
  • Clicking Reset to Default will make General the default face model. If you are in the middle of a project in which you used another face model, make sure that you re-select the face model you used. This way you do not mix data obtained with different face models.

General Settings

In the General settings you can view your license info and select the default location where FaceReader saves its projects.

License

Your License Number

Shows the license number of the hardware key currently plugged in or the license number connected to your software activation key. This license determines the software modules that you can use.
