1. Downloading VENUE System Restore Software
Once you have completed the Avid product activation process for the S6L control surface, download links for all S6L system
software and documentation are available from the

2 In the My Account page under My Products, click My Products and Subscriptions to access your software.
3 Click these links to download ZIP files of the most recent E6L Engine and S6L Console Restore files to your computer:
• VENUE 7.X.X.xxx_S6L_Engine_Restore
• VENUE 7.X.X.xxx_S6L_Console_Restore
4 After download is complete, extract each ZIP file:

2. Creating System Restore USB Drives
Windows XP or Higher and the Included System Restore USB Drives Required
After downloading System Restore software, create System Restore USB drives using a free utility called Rufus (included in each
Restore.zip) as explained in the following instructions. These instructions involve the following steps:
• Create one System Restore USB drive for the E6L engine using the S6L Engine Restore image.
• Create another System Restore USB drive for the S6L control surface using the S6L Console Restore image.
Keep both System Restore USB drives with the system at all times.
Use the USB drives included in your S6L and E6L software and plug-ins packs when creating the System Restore USB drives. We
recommend using the included drives, which you should keep updated and with your system at all times. A separate computer run-
ning Windows XP or higher (virtual machines are also supported) is required.
For more information, see Activating S6L System Components at Avid.com
Make sure to only use the included USB drives when creating the initial System Restore drives. You can also use commercially
available USB drives with a capacity of least 8 GB each to create backups or replacements in case the original is misplaced or
lost.
