Some plugins use in-plugin serial key activation. Check the product page or the product manual to see whether your product uses this method.

Activation Steps

1. When you launch the plugin, the serial key input dialog appears automatically (if the lock screen is already showing, click anywhere on it to bring up the dialog).
2. Enter the serial key shown on your dashboard (a 3-letter product code followed by 12 alphanumeric characters, 15 characters total — e.g. XXX000000000AA).
3. Click Unlock. The key is verified with the server over the internet, and once successful the lock indicator disappears.

You can find your serial keys under the license list on your dashboard (https://aideaudio.com/dashboard).

If you purchased through a store other than the AIDE AUDIO dashboard (such as KVR Marketplace or MuseHub), how to find your serial key may differ. If you're unsure, please reach out via the contact form.

Restrictions Before Activation

What is restricted in the unlicensed (demo) state differs by product. See each product's page, or the product manual, for details.

Device Limit

Each serial key can be activated on up to 3 devices at a time by default. If you hit this limit, see Device Activation Limit & Moving to a New Computer.

If Activation Fails

If you see errors such as "Invalid Serial", "Server Connection Failed", or "Activation limit reached", check Troubleshooting Activation Errors.
