Which guide is yours
Three people use the Hub. Each has a short path, and none of them overlap.
The Hub is one launcher with three ways in. Pick the one that describes you and ignore the other two.
| You are | Read |
|---|---|
| The person who runs a studio's seats | admins — you own the organisation, add people on the Team tab, brand the Hub, decide which releases the studio sees. |
| A freelancer who bought a licence | freelancers — one person, one account, the complete application. You made your account at checkout. |
| An artist whose studio set you up | artists — your welcome email is the whole setup. Sign in, finish your account, install Forged Image, launch it. |
What the Hub does
- Installs Forged Image from the studio's or your own licence, side by side by version, and updates it by downloading only what changed.
- Launches it with a licence session bound to your machine, good for one launch.
- Opens Forged Review in your browser.
- For administrators: the team, the seats, the branding and the release policy.
What it will not do
- Buy or change a licence — that happens on forgedstu.com and arrives in the Hub by itself.
- Manage your project files. Where they live is your business.
- Show you another studio. A release you are not entitled to does not appear.
