How to Remove the Hub Folder
A Little Context
When the Hub folder is present in your Greyscalegorilla Preferences Plugins folder, your plugins look to the Hub for licensing. That's fine if you're staying on your current setup. But if you want to install new tools through Cargo, you'll want Cargo handling licensing instead.
Removing the Hub folder is what makes that switch. Your installed plugin files stay exactly where they are. Only the Hub folder itself needs to go. Once it's removed and the Connector is set up, Cargo takes over cleanly and you're ready to install anything from the Tool page.
If your current setup is working and you're not looking to install anything new, you don't need to do a thing.
Who Should Do This
Anyone with Hub installs who wants to install new or additional tools through Cargo
KitBash subscribers with a previous Hub installation (removing the Hub folder lets Cargo handle your licensing through the Connector)
Anyone who has recently changed their subscription and wants Cargo to manage their tools from here on
How to Remove the Hub Folder
Open Cinema 4D.
Go to Edit > Preferences.
Click Open Preferences Folder. This opens your Greyscalegorilla Preferences folder in Finder on Mac or File Explorer on Windows.
Open the Plugins folder.
Find the Hub folder.
Delete it.
Close Cinema 4D.
That's it! Your plugins are still there and your workflow is intact. Cargo is now ready to handle licensing for anything you install from the Tool page.
Next Steps
With the Hub folder out of the way, head over to How to Install Tools Through Cargo to get set up with the Connector and start installing.
Troubleshooting
I don't see a Hub folder in the Plugins folder.
That's totally fine. It just means you either haven't had the Hub installed or it was already removed. You're all clear to move on to How to Install Tools Through Cargo.
I removed the Hub folder but some of my plugins stopped working.
Your plugins may have been relying on the Hub for their license. A quick reinstall through Cargo will bring them right back. Head to the Tool page, click Install on each tool you want, and give Cinema 4D a restart. See How to Install Tools Through Cargo for the full steps.
I'm not sure whether I have the Hub installed.
Easy way to check: open Cinema 4D, go to Edit > Preferences > Open Preferences Folder, and look inside the Plugins folder for a folder named Hub. If it's there, follow the steps above. If it's not, you're already good to go.
