How do I get my ilok licenses?
There are three ways to acquire your licenses for this bundle, this will be impacted by where you purchased the product.
For purchases made directly from the SSL E-Store:
When you purchase the bundle directly through our store, the ilok licenses for both products will be automatically deposited to your ilok account. Head into the ilok license manager application and activate the licenses via the 'available' tab.
Please note that the two products offer different iLok activation options: While both products support activation on a physical iLok dongle, Bus Compressor 2 additionally supports machine-based iLok activation, whereas smart:EQ 4 allows activation via the iLok Cloud.
For purchases made with Plugin Boutique:
If you have purchased this bundle via Plugin Boutique, you will be issued an Ilok Activation Code for Bus Compressor 2 and a proprietary sonible license key for smart:EQ 4.
Activation of Bus Compressor 2:
The ilok activation code will look something like the below:
1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-12
this must be redeemed in iLok License Manager before you can start using your software.
- Download and install iLok License Manager.
- Go to Licenses > Redeem Activation Code.
- Copy and paste your Activation Code in, and click next.
- Follow the onscreen instructions.
Activation of smart:EQ 4:
The proprietary Sonible license key will look something like the below:
AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD
This license key allows to unlock smart:EQ 4 on your computer when opening the plug-in for the first time. If you want to activate smart:EQ 4 on your iLok, you have to register the license key in your Sonible user account. Once registered, you can transfer an activation to your iLok account (button "transfer to iLok“ next to the plug-in name in the user dashboard).
For purchases made with other 3rd party re-sellers:
If you have purchased this bundle via another 3rd party re-seller, you will have been issued a 'Software License Code' which will need to be redeemed via your SSL account. This will look something like the below:
1234567-1331-1234-1AB123CD
- Go to https://account.solidstatelogic.com/register-product
- Log into your SSL Account or create a new account if you don’t already have one.
- Click the 'Register Software' button.
- Fill out the form and click 'Submit'.
Once you have registered your software to your SSL Account, the license will be deposited to the iLok User ID that you provide, and it will appear under the ‘My Products’ page.
How many activations are available for my ilok licenses?
SSL Bus Comp follows the usual rules of 2 activations per license, this includes Ilok USB activation and Machine based activation
sonible smart: EQ 4 has 1 iLok activation per license, and includes iLok USB activation, iLok cloud activation but does not include Machine based activation. Besides, customers who activated smart:EQ 4 through the SSL website will receive a proprietary sonible license key at the end of the deal. This key allows to unlock one additional computer using sonible’s proprietary machine-based licensing system.
Where can I install the plugins?
On the product page where you purchase this bundle, you will see a 'Downloads' tab. In here you will find a link for the SSL Download Manager app or offline installers FAQ, and a direct link to install sonible Smart:EQ 4 on either Mac or Windows.
Why haven't I received a Sonible license code?
By activating the bundle through the SSL website, an iLok activation for both products (Bus Compressor 2 & smart:EQ 4) was automatically transferred to your iLok account. Therefore, you do not need a sonible license code to use smart:EQ 4.
How will the products be displayed in my SSL/sonible account
To ensure that the smart:EQ 4 license can still be registered and managed in the sonible User Dashboard (if needed), all customers will receive a separate sonible license code at the end of the promotion.
In your SSL account, both of products will show as the 'SSL and sonible Bundle' with both ilok deposit references.
