If not, your software may not work like it is supposed to! On the right hand side,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.garritan.com\/products\/cfx-concert-grand-virtual-piano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">select your product<\/a>&nbsp;and then click&nbsp;<strong>System Requirements<\/strong>&nbsp;in the same section to view your product\u2019s system requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Register-your-Garritan-Products\">Register your Garritan Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to do is <a href=\"https:\/\/mmaccount.makemusic.com\/Account\/Create\/?ReturnUrl=\/OpenId\/VerifyRequest&amp;Consent=False\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create a Garritan account<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/auth.makemusic.com\/identity\/account\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sign in<\/a>&nbsp;if you&#8217;ve already made one. Then, you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/store.makemusic.com\/MyAccount\/RegistrationWizard.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register your software<\/a>.&nbsp;You will need to use the serial number found in the <strong>Software Activation Instructions<\/strong> sent by your Sweetwater Sales Engineer. By registering, it confirms your&nbsp;purchase with Garritan and gives you access to your <strong>Activation Keycard&nbsp;<\/strong>(we will use this later).
