If you receive the following message
This means one of the following:
-
The APF does not match your Database ID.
If you are logged into VStitcher or Lotta using a different company’s Browzwear Cloud License Account than the account associated with the APF file, this message will appear. To resolve this, be sure that you are accessing VStitcher or Lotta using the same company Browzwear Cloud License Account with which APF file is associated.
-
The AVA form you have imported is not available with your Alvanon Body Platform Subscription.
To resolve this, login to https://abp.alvanon.com/ and check that the form is available through your subscription. If it is, then check that your APF file is not expired.
-
The APF you are using is expired.
To resolve this, login to https://abp.alvanon.com/ and download a new APF and add it to VStitcher or Lotta.
