STL Tones ToneHub v2.0.8.2024.05 Incl Patched and Keygen-R2R

...well, a fresh system install could help, but the issue could appear again if the cause keeps unknown, perhaps worths try a total STL uninstall, AmpHub included. If you wanna try, follow this attempt.

First, edit your hosts file by adding this;

#STL TONES
0.0.0.0 www.userarea.stltones.com
0.0.0.0 userarea.stltones.com
0.0.0.0 www.spirionix.com
0.0.0.0 spirionix.com
0.0.0.0 stltones.com
0.0.0.0 www.stltones.com

A few days ago I was surprised by some sites which where not really blocked if the "www." wasn't present in the line, but most of the sites that I block doesn't require it. Since that experience I duplicate every line with the www. prefix. Yes, is bruteforce, not knowledge...

Other important detail; make all your files & folders vissible, hidden system ones included. R2R Team has wrote the proper way to deal with previous VR versions in the included .txt, so, also pay atention to this;

"Be careful, Team VR sets "system" attribute to those files.
It should be invisible in some computers.

For noobs who can't find previous license:
Open Command Prompt and put following commands:

cd %PUBLIC%\Documents\STL
attrib /s -s -h -r

Now all files should have normal attributes."

Try to get Revo Uninstaller Pro v3.0.8 x64 (I've experimented this version as the best for years), and CCleaner. Once installed both programs execute Revo Uninstaller and set the options (go to Tools---Options) as shown below;

GENERAL
*Uncheck updates at startup.
*Uncheck "Show commands in context menu handler"

UNINSTALLER
Under "Delete files & folders" select "Permanently"

Now execute CCleaner & configure it avoiding delete (uncheck) some ítems which could be useful for you, eg.: Network passwords, internet browsers saved passwords, cookies, Office indexation, etc.. Look carefully all items shown in both columns of CCleaner (Windows & Applications).

Of my personal CCleaner's config I think this as relevant in the Windows column;
*Check all in "Windows Explorer" EXCEPT FOR Network Passwords.
*Check all in "System".
*Check all in "Advanced" EXCEPT FOR "Custom Files and Folders" and "Wipe Free Space", cause wipe free space could take many hours in a HDD, and really stress a lot to SSD & NVMe drives for no reason at all.

You'll see the Registry options at the left of the program too, personally I leave all items checked there.

Once done, close CCleaner and execute Revo Uninstaller, double click on ToneHub, the proper ToneHub uninstaller will start, just be sure to choose a complete uninstall. After that you'll see that Revo offers to inspect your system in search for files, folders and registry entries, u've gotta choose the "Advanced" option, is the deepest wiper one. Sometimes Revo is not perfect, but helps a lot. U'll get the registry items list, you may check it carefully, but in my experience Revo is assertive. Click on "Select All" and "Delete", later the ToneHub's files & folders list will be shown (after an auto-scan), try to check it and when you're sure click on "Select all" and "Delete". Do the same for AmpHub.

Close Revo and execute CCleaner by clicking on "Custom Clean" ---> "Run Cleaner", later click on "Registry" ---> "Scan for issues". After the scan click on "Review selected Issues", an offer to delete those entries will appear, do it.

Reboot your machine & search for leftover STL's files and folders in;

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\STL Tones (if that STL folder remains, delete it)

C:\Program Files\STL Tones (if that STL folder remains, delete it)

C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins

C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST2

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3

C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins

C:\ProgramData\STL (if that STL folder remains, delete it)

C:\Users\Public\Documents\STL (if that STL folder remains, delete it)

%AppData%\STL Ignite - AmpHub


In Regedit;
Search for possible leftover STL Tones keys & entries and delete them. Run CCleaner again.

Now you can install any STL software again, but this time pull off your ethernet cable or disconnect the computer from any network. Run the KG as admin and search for the proper product in the KG list (I've made some mistakes about it in different circumstances...).

After install & validate any STL soft, execute it, if everything works I suggest to block every STL Tones related .exe by writing the following text and save it as a .bat file (eg.; Block STL Tones.bat);

################################################################################

@ setlocal enableextensions
@ cd /d "C:\Program Files\STL Tones"

for /R %%f in (*.exe) do (
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked: %%f" dir=in program="%%f" action=block
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked: %%f" dir=out program="%%f" action=block
)

pause

################################################################################

Once the file is made, execute it as Administrator.

Now you can return to internet, and hide your system's files & folders, if you want.

If you deleted all traces of the V.R release and there is nothing left in the Public Documents/STL, AppData/Roaming/STL folders, plus you blocked "userarea.stltones.com" (hosts file) and it still doesn't work, then I have one question : are you using Win 11? Because if I remember correctly, those who had a similar problem lately with R2R STL releases use Win 11.
