NOTES:

GO TO "C:ProgramData" AND COPY THE "FLEXnet" folder in a safe place to replace the original in case of errors.
ONLY run Harmony 12 from the shortcut created by RunAsDate
DO NOT:
Run Harmony files from Windows Explorer
Use the Render and play tool in Harmony
Middle-click the Toon Boom Stage icon.
Right-click the Toon Boom Stage, and then click on "Toon Boom Stage".
These two will probably open the default Stage.exe, and not the shortcut from RunAsDate, which disables the freeze.

INFO:
Toon Boom Harmony (formerly Toon Boom Symphony) - Like Opus, this software is based on a centralized database system and is used in the Film and TV animation industry. It contains all the Opus features and has additional tools that can be used for cut-out animation style. These tools include pencil lines with textures, the deformation tool, morphing, inverse kinematics, particles, built-in compositor and 2D-3D integration. Harmony can also be used as a paperless animation solution, drawing animation directly into the software, using a Wacom tablet. In April 2015, Harmony 12 was made available in 3 editions and also via desktop subscription.
