Some users may prefer to use machine licensing and want to install on multiple machines. We currently provide one iLok license redemption per serial, which can be activated onto an iLok dongle or a machine. When purchasing a plug-in suite, the redeem code will generate multiple licenses, one per plug-in in the suite, but the licenses are grouped together. The plug-in will run only if it can find a license on an iLok or the machine. Then transfer the license to either an iLok dongle or your machine. Within the manager, under the Licenses menu, select “Redeem Activation Code” and paste your redeem code. Otherwise, go to, create an iLok account, and download and install the iLok License Manager. When opening the plug-in a dialog window will appear and give you the option to Activate the plug-in, you can paste the Pace redeem code there, and proceed to create or login to an iLok account and then transfer the license to an iLok or your machine. There are two ways to redeem the code and generate a license. A Pace redeem code (looks like XXXX- XXXX- XXXX- XXXX- XXXX- XXXX- XXXX-XX) will be displayed and also emailed to you.
To unlock the plug-in after purchasing, go to our Product Registration page, select “Pace/iLok”, and enter your serial number. Prior to activation, the plug-ins will allow you to start a trial by creating an iLok account. If you need more when you decommission old machines, please ask. We provide three registrations to unlock on up to three machines. If you have purchased a plug-in suite, when you unlock any one of the plug-ins within the suite, the entire suite will be unlocked. You should see a message saying your registration was successful.
Then, open the plug-in, select Unlock Plug-In from the Tools menu and enter your key code. A key code (looks like XXXXX- XXXXX) will be displayed and also e-mailed to you.
To unlock the plug-in after purchasing, go to our Product Registration page, select “Wave Arts licensing” in the Licensing Method menu, and enter your serial number and your computer’s Machine ID (see Machine ID FAQ). Our older plug-ins are unlocked with key codes. Copy the key file to the target machine, and then click Tools->Offline Register and then click “Open Key File” and select the file. If your computer is not connected to the internet you will be prompted to follow the offline activation procedure, which is exactly like the above procedure except instead of a key code, you will be emailed a key file. Simply enter your serial, name, and email, and the plug-in will be unlocked. Our latest plug-ins use a new online activation system accessed via the Tools->Register option. Use the serial number to unlock the plug-in as described below. When you purchase a plug-in, you will be e-mailed a serial number (looks like WA- PPP- XXXXX- XXXXX where PPP is a product code). When installing the plug-ins you must select which version of the plug-ins you wish to use.
