Installing and activating our plugins is a simple process. To use our plugins, all you need is iLok License Manager installed on your computer. You do not need the iLok USB device. 

Instructions for trial activation

  • Create a free iLok account.
  • Download and install iLok License Manager. 
  • Log in to your iLok account in iLok License Manager. Your login details might be different from the login details for neuraldsp.com.
  • Download free trials of our plug-ins.
  • Run through the plugin installer. Make sure you install the plugin formats you require.
  • Re-scan the plugins in your DAW, or run the Standalone app if you installed it.
  • When running the plug-ins for the first time, click the "TRY" button and follow the on-screen steps to begin your 14-day free trial. 

You do not need to enter a license code for a free trial. A trial code is deposited to your iLok account automatically by going through the "ACTIVATE" and "TRY" buttons at the bottom.
