General FAQ
How can I authorize my product?
The Overloud licensing system allows you to authorize up to three computers, Mac and Windows, at the same time and one USB stick. The iLok® is not supported.
The USB stick authorization is optional. You can simply authorize your computer with no USB, but with an authorized USB stick you can:
- Use the software on many computers (the authorization is on the USB stick and you can carry it around).
- Keep installers and licenses on ONE single USB stick.
- Use the software on computers that don't have internet connection.
- Authorize your Studio computer, your laptop AND your USB Stick at the same time!
- The USB authorization can be deposited on any USB stick (mass storage USB)
- You can keep using the USB stick to carry around your regular files: licenses uses only a few Kb.
- You can use the same USB stick to activate Overloud®, Waves® and Plugin Alliance® products.
Do I need a hardware key to install Overloud products?
