Configure Vuforia Studio to Run Over HTTPS (Windows Only)
* 
This configuration is only recommended when basic authentication over HTTP is forbidden—even on the local machine.
Use one of the following methods to activate HTTPS in your local environment to run Vuforia Studio. Administrator privileges are required to do this, as this process requires running a script to install a locally signed SSL certificate.
Method
Instructions
Command Prompt Shortcut
1. Completely exit out of Vuforia Studio.
