3AUTHORIZATION

Now that your Analog Factory 2.5 has been installed, you have to authorize the synthesizer.

This doesn’t apply to owners of the previous 1.x version, who may use the software right away using their USB- eLicenser hardware dongle.

Contrary to 1.x versions that used the USB-eLicenser protection scheme, Analog Factory 2.x uses the “Soft-eLicenser” virtual dongle solution by default. Avoiding the use of a USB port, this system allows using the synthesizer on one machine which must be connected to the Internet during the authorization process.

To transfer your license on another computer, or simply use Analog Factory 2.5 on several computers (one instance at a time), you will need:

-to use one USB-eLicenser hardware dongle (sold separately, also used by many other software editors);

-in the eLicenser Control Center, to drag-and-drop your license from Soft-eLicenser to USB-eLicenser. This transfer, requiring a valid Internet connection, can be done both ways:

-from Soft-eLicenser to USB-eLicenser;

-from USB-eLicenser to Soft-eLicenser.

Please check the eLicenser documentation installed on your computer for any further technical details.

The first step is to register your software in order to obtain the activation code that will enable you to actually use the software.

You should have handy the license serial number of Analog Factory 2.5 and the unlock code (these are integral part of the software and are printed on a small plastic card)
