Pulsar Audio Software Activation Instructions
In this guide, we will show you how to activate, download, and install your new Pulsar Audio software. Follow the sections below to get started.
Create an iLok account
Pulsar Audio software is licensed with an iLok. To use it, you will need to connect its iLok license to your computer via an iLok USB dongle. If you don’t already have an iLok account, you’ll need to create one and install the iLok License Manager app. Follow the steps below to get started. If you already have an account, pass these steps, and continue to Register with Plugivery. Check out our iLok Quickstart Guide for more information.
- Visit iLok’s registration page and complete the registration form.
- Please take note of your User ID and password, as they are case-sensitive.
- Open the iLok Account Activation email and click on the verification link.
- Download and install iLok License Manager.
- Launch the iLok License Manager app and sign in to your account.
- (Optional) Connect an iLok and when prompted, click Yes to register the dongle to your account

Register with Plugivery
IMPORTANT: You will only use the Sweetwater redemption code during this step in the activation process. Plugivery will provide a separate, unique iLok code AFTER completing this step.
Once the iLok account has been created, the next step is to register the redemption code you received from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer. Once you redeem the code, Plugivery will auto-generate an iLok code that you will use to activate the plug-in. Remember, this is the only time you will use Sweetwater’s redemption code!
- Sign in to your Plugivery Manager account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one here.
- Go to the Plugivery software redemption page, then copy and paste the redemption code you received from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.
- Fill out the necessary information, then click Proceed to complete the registration process.
- Plugivery will send you an email with the iLok code necessary to activate the software. If you didn’t receive the email, be sure to check your spam folder!

Activate the iLok code

- Launch iLok License Manager, then sign in to the iLok License Manager.
- If you’re activating the plug-in using an iLok USB dongle, connect it to your computer at this time.
- Navigate to Licenses, then click Redeem Activation Code.
- Alternatively, click the ..i located to the right of the search bar.
