Activate your licence

Modified on Wed, 11 Dec at 3:42 PM

After you've deposited your Sonnox licence to your iLok account, you need to activate the licence from within the iLok

Licence Manager application.


New licences will be listed in bold under the Available tab. To activate them, you can:

  1. Drag the licence to the desired iLok location in the left panel, OR...
  2. Right-click on the licence and click Activate then select the desired iLok location 


This video provides a demonstration of the Sonnox licence activation process using iLok machine authorisation and iLok Cloud authorisation after a licence has been deposited -




NB: if you have not used the iLok Cloud before, you will have to open it for the first time before it becomes an available location. To do this, go to [File > Open Your Cloud Session] in the iLok Licence Manager. 


For more information on using iLok Cloud authorisation, please see this article.


Your licence is now active! Once you've installed your plug-in, it will be available for use the next time you open your DAW. 


If the plugin does not appear, then please see -  Why doesn't my plug-in show up in my DAW?
