How do I activate with iLok?
Open Compressor requires activation with iLok. Waveform Compressor doesn't require any activation as it's a free plugin.
To activate Open Compressor:
1. Download and install the iLok License Manager from www.ilok.com if you don't already have it
2. Create an iLok account or sign in to your existing account
3. Locate your iLok Activation Code:
- Provided at checkout
- Also sent in your purchase confirmation email
4. Open iLok License Manager and sign in
5. Click "Redeem", or go to Licenses > Redeem Activation Code in the top menu, and enter your activation code
6. Choose activation location:
- Activate to your computer (machine-based, no dongle required)
- Or activate to an iLok USB key if you have one
7. Complete activation - your licence will now appear in the iLok License Manager
8. Launch Open Compressor in your DAW - it will now be fully activated
Note: If you encounter any activation issues, please contact support@woodstockaudio.com with your activation code and iLok account details.
I don't see the option to activate to my computer, and I don't have an iLok dongle. How do I fix this?
Make sure you're entering your activation code via the iLok License Manager, instead of the window that pops up when you try to open the plugin in your DAW without activating beforehand.
