Windows 7/8 Patch for Darkroom Booth (Error- licensing module will not initialize)


If you are using Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 an additional Windows service patch is required to run Darkroom on these older operating systems. Please download and install the service patch for your operating system from the links below.

Important* We strongly recommend upgrading to Windows 10. If you continue to use an older operating system you may experience compatibility issues. Windows 7 will not work with video options in Booth and some menus will not display properly.
