Trigger 2 Expansion Software Activation Instructions
In this guide, we will show you how to register, download, and install Trigger 2 expansion packs. Follow the instructions below to get started.
Register Passcode
The first step in activating your Trigger 2 expansion pack is registering it with Steven Slate Audio using the passcode you received from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.
- Log into your Steven Slate Audio account.
- Once in your account, click Add Products, copy and paste the passcode you received from your Sweetwater Sales Engineer, then click SUBMIT.
Download and Install
IMPORTANT!This article assumes you already have Slate Audio Center and the base Trigger 2 virtual instrument installed. If you don’t yet, please visit our Trigger 2 Platinum Software Activation Instructions to learn more.
Once your Trigger 2 is registered to your account, you must download and install the expansion via the Slate Audio Center application. We recommend closing all other applications beforehand to ensure the installation goes smoothly.
- Launch Slate Audio Center. If prompted, enter your Steven Slate Audio account credentials.
- Click Trigger 2, click Expansions, then click INSTALL, which islocated next to the expansion you just registered.
- On the next page, you can choose where to install the expansion. We recommend selecting the same folder where your core Trigger 2 library is.
Link Trigger 2 Expansion Libraries
Now that the expansion libraries are installed, you must link your expansion to the Trigger 2 virtual instrument. No additional work is necessary if you have installed the expansion library to the same directory as your core Trigger 2 content. However, if you have installed in a different location, you’ll need to link its license file.
- Launch your DAW and add Trigger 2 on a new instrument track.
- Click Settings. If it’s installed in the same directory, the license file should appear, and you’ll be good to go.
- If you installed the expansion in a different location or you receive an error mentioning it’s missing a license file, click Select License File, navigate to the directory where you installed the library, and select the .tlc file so it is recognized by Trigger 2.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
