How Do I Install My New Plug-ins?

1. Download Your Plug-ins and Install Them

Download your plug-in(s) from your order receipt page or your Downloads tab on shop.relabdevelopment.com

Make sure your DAW is closed, as it will need to scan the newly installed plug-in(s) after the installation.

Once plug-in(s) have finished downloading, locate them in your downloads folder and double-click to unzip and run the installer.

1a. OPTION 1: Download Your Plug-ins From The Downloads Tab In Your Relab Account

Log in to your Relab license account here and select the Downloads tab from the left menu.

1b. OPTION 2: Download Your Plug-ins From Your Relab Order Receipt

Download your plug-ins immediately after purchase by clicking “download” at the bottom of the page, under “Next Steps“.

2. Download iLok License Manager from PACE

Before being able to activate any Relab plug-ins, you will need to set up an iLok account, as all Relab plug-ins are authorized and managed with the iLok License Manager.

Download iLok License Manager here

For your convenience, Relab automatically creates a FREE iLok account for any purchasers that do not yet have an active iLok account.

All Relab product licenses can be activated directly on your computer. A PACE USB smart key is NOT required to use Relab products.
