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?
