@Vuforia Engine Support - That is sort of a brutal tactic. :/

Hello,

Unfortunately, we don't have a license renewal or upgrade mechanism for Classic licenses. In order to utilize the Model Targets feature, you will have to purchase a new license that enables it.

Thanks,

Is there a way to have a license renewed? We purchased a Classic license before Vuforia 7 was released and would like to add Model Targets to our project.

+1 to that.

At least display the error in the Unity console saying that the license does not support model target and that it maybe needs to be recreated :)

For everyone who has an issue with loading data set, you should create and use new license key.

If you close Unity and delete the Library folder in your project root the library should be recalculated on the next startup. In this case my imported model-target prefab is throwing the following warning:

'Assets/Models/Touchlab/4800b68c89c04311a3c2d49f7f759b5b/Model.prefab' is not a valid prefab since it has no root game object.

Not sure if this is connected to the issue on startup or even relevant...

Another error could be found on the import of the model-target package itself:

Package does not contain valid import settings for: Assets/StreamingAssets/Vuforia/TouchlabMini.dat

Changing the device orientation in the target generator did not work in my case ...

this did the trick !!! thank you very much 

Hi again,

The problem was sorted by going from "Portrait" to "Landscape" in the target model generator, despite the application running in portrait mode.

Hi Strasza,

I'm running into other problems now, as the dataset loads, with guidelines and everything popping up, but the model target doesn't get activated, even in really good lighting conditions, as well as having the physical object perfectly aligned with the guideview. It doesn't give me any feedback or debugger outputs, which makes it really tough to find the error!

I've tried on my built-in webcam, an external webcam, whilst also having built to both an iPhone 7 and an iPhone X.

Thanks!

Same here, is there anyone who got it working?

Same issue here, my Dataset doesn't load. 

Failed to load data set New_Model_Target.

Also have the issue. 

No errors or anything when I import the model, as well as building the project - I just can't load it (in editor and on iOS).

Got the same issue...

Same issue using Unity 2017.3

Additionally, when importing the unityPackage I get the following errors:

Package does not contain valid import settings for: Assets/Editor/Vuforia/DataSetName/authoringinfo.xml

Package does not contain valid import settings for: Assets/Editor/Vuforia/DataSetName/..._preview.jpg
