Downloading your Plugin

The easiest way to get started is to download your plugin from our Downloads Center, which hosts all of the installers for our plugins.

To keep things simple, all expansion pack installers are included in the core plugin. You only need to download the core installer. 

Installing your Plugin

To install, extract the .exe or .pkg from the download file (if you system doesn't automatically). Next, run the installer, clicking through the steps. Be sure to grant any permissions your system prompts you for, such as access to your microphone (this allows the plugin to input audio to your system).

If the install fails, please contact our support team.

Activating Your Plugin

STL plugins no longer require iLok, with the exception of Libra. The activation now happens directly inside your plugin. The process is similar for trials and full licenses, and is explained below.

Note: If you are trying to activate Libra with an iLok activation code, please see the help article for iLok activations.

Your Login

You will login inside the plugins with the same email and password as your STL Tones website account. When logging in to a plugin for the first time, you will be sent a verification code. Please check your spam folder if you do not receive it.

Own Outright

To activate your perpetual license, select "Activate Now" and enter your license code for the core plugin. To activate any expansion packs you've purchased, click on the lock icon next to the pack and it will prompt you to enter the expansion's unique license code. 

Note: Once activated, your licenses for that plugin will be saved to your account within the plugin. If you need to find an activation code, select the "more settings" icon at the top right of the activation window. There you will find a drop down menu with "My Activation Codes", which will show your Activation Code Summary.

Subscription 

To activate a free trial, monthly subscription, or annual subscription, click "Activate Now", then select the subscription you wish to activate.

My activation screen doesn't look like this, what should I do?
