NORMAL ONLINE AUTHORIZATION AFTER PURCHASE

Insert the plugin for the first time on a channel, track, clip, or event

You’ll see the initial window, like the one here. Press the button that says “Activate your plugin” The helpful green arrow is pointing at the button.

Next you’ll have the ability to activate online or offline. Press the button that says “Let’s go!” This will begin the online activation process.

Here’s the next window. Normally, you will have already purchased the plugin, so you should click Sign In. If you got the plugin from a friend, you’ll need to click Purchase before continuing.

Now you can sign in, using the same credentials you already have for the Sonatura website.

And that’s it! You can close this window, as well as your browser. The plugin will now appear normally. Up to three devices can be activated for the plugin, with each using this same process. If you need more licenses, let us know.

The plugin will look online for authorization whenever you open it in the future, but the process will occur behind the scenes. You should never have to worry about authorization again.
