Licenses and Licensing | License code authorisation | iLok authorisation

License code authorisation

Q/ Where is my License Code?

A/ When you complete your transaction you will be returned to the NuGen Audio site, where your License Code will be displayed. You will also receive an email from NuGen Audio, confirming your purchase, including a copy of your license code. Our licensing emails are automated. To make sure you receive these emails see Communications from NuGen Audio.

Q/ Where can I find the product ID and Machine Key?

A/ If the computer you wish to license your product to is on-line, you do not need these, the process is automatic. If the computer you wish to license to is off-line, they will be displayed in a licensing window inside the plugin as you complete the licensing process.

Q/ My License Code doesn't work (off-line)

A/ For off-line licensing, you do not need to enter your License Code into the plugin, you need to enter it (along with the the data gathered from the plugin licensing window in the plugin) into the Unlock Key generator here. Then enter the Unlock Key into the window in the plugin.

Q/ Can I use my license on two machines?

A/ Yes. Your purchase entitles you to use your license twice, for your own personal use. This allows you to install to your studio machine and laptop for instance.

Q/ I can't enter text into the plugin

A/ Some VST/AU hosts lock text entry and you need to enable this to type in the License Code (eg. Mad Tracker). A small number of VST hosts do not accept the VST/AU standard for text entry into a plugin or do not support the custom user interface (eg. Audacity). In this case you will need to enter the text in another VST host (a demo version will work perfectly well) in order to register the plugin. The plugin will then be available in any host you choose, even if you remove the host you registered with from your system.

Q/ What happens to my licenses if I reformat my hard drive?

A/ Re-formatting your hard drive will not affect your license allocation, re-authorising on the same machine does not use up a license.

Q/ What is iLok?

A/ iLok is a convenient way to license you products in a portable way, so you can move from machine to machine, taking your licenses with you. You can find more information about iLok here.


Q/ Which products use iLok?

A/ LMB uses iLok, our other products use license code authorisation.

Downloading Purchases

Q/ Where is the plugin I purchased?

A/ If you need to download the plug-in, you will be able to download the demo from your personal profile page, which can be accessed using your purchase email.

You do not need to download a different version after you have purchased a license. The product can be licensed using the license manager contained within the demo.

Q/ How do I download the complete product bundle?

A/ There is no separate download for the bundles. Simply download the individual products contained within the bundle and the single License Code you purchased can be used to unlock all the products contained within the bundle.



 Demo's

Q/ What are the demo restrictions?

A/ Our demo's are available for free download and are fully functional for 30 days, after which a license will be needed for continued use.



VAT

Q/ Where can I enter my VAT number in order to make a purchase?

A/ If you are a business in the EU (not UK) registered for VAT and would like an invoice without UK VAT, please send us a purchase order including your company name, address, and VAT number.


Free versions

Q/ How do I download the free versions?

A/ To get 'Line-up' simply sign up for a profile page and download from there. For our other plugins there is no separate download for the free versions. The demo of the full version will revert to the freeware version after the trial period has expired (where a free version is available).

Q/ What are the limitations for the free versions?

A/ The free versions are limited in feature set, but will still perform basic functionality. The limitations introduced vary from product to product.



Installation

Q/ I am having trouble using a plugin with windows Vista

A/ Login to Vista using an administrator account. Right click the shortcut to the VST host you are using and select 'Run as Administrator'.

Q/ There is only a .dll file, where is the program?

A/ Our software is provided in the form of a plugin (the .dll file). This means that you will need to use it within audio production or editing software. There are many of these available for both Mac  and PC., most of which provide free demos, and several of which are provided as free/shareware.

Once you have chosen your host software, you will need to install the plugin in the host's plugin directory and then use the plugin within the host software. The method of implementation differs from host to host, so please refer to the host software manual for further guidance.

Q/ Where are the manuals located?

A/ Manuals are in pdf format, and by default are stored in:
(PC) C:Program Files\NuGen Audio
(Mac)
macintoshHD->library->documentation->NuGen Audio



Updates

Q/ How do I update to the latest version?

A/ Updates within the same version number are free. For most of our products, simply download the demo version from the product page and install. Your license will be detected automatically. For some of our plugins  you may need to download the non-demo version using your personal download link.

Q/ How will I know when there is a new version available?

A/ We list the current version numbers on our home page. We will also send you an email notification. You may change your mail preferences from your profile page. As our email notifications are automated, we strongly advise that you add our domain (@nugenaudio.com) to your safe list to stop personal or ISP filters from blocking them. See Communications from NuGen Audio.



Using Plugins

Q/ Your (plugin) doesn't create a stereo effect

A/ In some VST/AU hosts, in order to add a stereo effect to a mono source, you will need to place the mono file on a stereo track. If you cannot do this, you may need to transform the mono file into a stereo file using a wave editor (the resulting stereo file will have the same information on both channels) and then process this file using our products.

Q/ When i render a mono file the stereo information is lost

A/ Some wave editors (Wavelab/Sound Forge) allow stereo information to be generated and previewed, but when the rendered file is created the output is forced to mono. The solution is to generate a dual-mono stereo file as above. In Wavelab, render the mono file with the plugin bypassed to generate a stereo version. In Sound Forge you can use the Channel Converter to the same effect.

Q/ My host does not support resizing, how do I take advantage of the two sizes of Visualizer?

A/ If your host has trouble with resizing a plugin interface, you can install Visualizer using the 'Plugin host cannot resize GUI' option during installation. This will install a large and compact option as separate instances in the plugin menu.


Educational Discounts

Q/ Do you offer discounts to Educators/Students/Educational Institutions?

A/ We offer a range of discounts to those in the educational sector.
Our educational discounts are available to facilitate those in part or full time education who as a result find themselves on
a reduced income.

We also offer discounts to educators and institutions.

If you feel that your circumstances meet these criteria, please email for further details.
