License Generator 1.0 is now available through the attachment in this post! 

Manual Transmission 5.6.2 is now available through the attachment in this post, or GitHub! A license to use it can be created with the attached generator. You should have an active pledge for this to work.

License Generator 1.0.0 had several issues with Patreon authorization and authentication, these have now been fixed in 1.0.1. My sincere apologies for the rocky start!

Usage:

Launch "LicenseGenerator.exe"

Log in through Patreon in the opened window.

If eligible, License Generator will generate a license file

You're done now! The game with the script can now be started and it automatically picks up the license.

For more details, please refer to the README.pdf in the included .zip file.

"License Expired" in-game using LicenseGenerator 1.0.1

If you encounter "License Expired" in-game, re-run LicenseGenerator using your main gaming GPU. A solution for this issue is work in progress.

Instructions for Windows 11 (Windows 10 is similar)

This is seen on PCs with multiple GPUs, mostly laptops with switchable graphics.

Antivirus software flagging this as malware

Antivirus software may think there is malware, but this is a false positive.

To be completely transparent, this is what happens:

It opens Patreon where you can give permission to share your subscription info with the tool (following Patreon's OAuth2 flow)

The tool collects system fingerprint data from various parts and anonymizes it

A license file is generated based on this, and it's encrypted

Manual Transmission or other scripts can read it back

At no point is there any other network communication than to authenticate with Patreon, no information leaves your PC after clicking Allow or Deny on Patreon, the only file it touches is the license file (and it can backup the old one, but it asks you this). Why AV software marks this as malicious, I have no idea.
