To activate plugins:
4. Open the Preferences menu by pressing Menu or tapping the icon in the upper-left corner of the screen,
and then tapping the Preferences icon at the bottom of the screen.
5. You will need a valid internet connection to activate your plugins, so if you are not already connected, use
the Wi-Fi or Ethernet menus to select your network.
6. Tap the Activate Plugins option on the left side of the screen.
7. Tap the Log In button to log into your inMusic Profile. You can scan the QR code with a mobile device or
open the URL shown on the page in a browser of your choice. If you do not already have an account, you will
be prompted to create one.
8. Once you have been logged in, you can try out plugin instruments through a free trial, or activate your purchases.
To start a trial, tap the Start Trial button next to the desired plugin.
To register a purchase, use the Enter Serial field to enter your serial number and then tap Register.
To refresh the page with your latest purchases or activations, tap Refresh.
To activate a plugin on your device, tap the Activate button next to its name. Tap Deactivate to
remove the plugin activation from your device.
To download a purchase to your device, first tap the Change button at the bottom of the touchscreen to
select a Content Download Drive. This can be a connected SATA drive, USB drive, or SD card. Then, tap
