rFactor 2 name keeps changing - Johannes Malkov - 05-05-2016

Hi, I would need to use different names in different leagues however since I installed SRS it always changes my name back to Johannes Malkov once I launched rFactor2. 
I tried changing within the launcher, and also changing the player.JSON.

To change the name, you have to change the license file.

Quote:To change your name in game, you must do:

- windows bouton, execut, write "%appdata%".

- you're now in Roaming folder with a .rFactor folder in. In this folder, open rFactor.name file with notepad.

- change your name (first it's your firstname, second your lastname and last your nickname)

- save and put the file on Read-Only, it's essential !
