Activating S6L System Components at Avid.com
Activate each S6L system component using the Activation Card located in each component’s
package.
You must activate each S6L system component. Activate the S6L control surface first to ac-
cess software and documentation included with your system, including VENUE System Restore
software. Then be sure to activate your E6L engine and each I/O unit. Both an Avid account and
an iLok account are required.
To obtain licenses and download links for your software:
1 Make sure you have your iLok account and software set up first:
• If you do not already have an iLok account, visit
www.ilok.com to sign up for free.
• While at iLok.com, download the iLok License Manager and install it on your computer. This application allows you to man-
age all your iLok licenses and accounts without having to open a web browser. An Internet connection is required to transfer
licenses to and from your iLok.com account.
2 If you already have an Avid account, skip to the next step. If not, visit www.avid.com/account and create an Avid Master
Account.
3 Visit www.avid.com/activation and log in to your Avid account using your registered email address.
4 Follow the link to Avid Software Activation and Download and follow the instructions on-screen to enter your code.
After entering the Activation Code for the S6L control surface, new VENUE software will be deposited in your account (follow
links to
Products Not Yet Downloaded), and your support contract will be activated.
After activating your E6L engine and each I/O unit your support contracts for these components will be activated. Activating
also adds all components to your Avid account.
5 Repeat as necessary to activate each S6L component (control surface, engine, and Stage I/O unit(s)).
How to Proceed
After unpacking, making basic connections, and activating S6L system components, proceed to S6L Network Connections.
The Activation Card included with your system may look different than the one shown at
right.
It is recommended that you use the same Avid account for all activations and downloads, and the same iLok account for all your
iLok licenses.
