Installing StiX

XILS-lab offers you the choice of using eLicenser, iLok and Soft Ilok. This first section describes the process for authorization for

eLicenser. ¨Please note that the Soft Ilok Option doesn't require a physical dongle

StiX uses an eLicenser dongle. You must have this dongle connected to a USB port on your computer to run StiX work.

Important

: Please take care of your dongle: you need it to run the StiX and it carries your license!

Important Note: Even if you have already installed the eLicenser drivers for a previous product, please update your eLicenser License

Control to the latest version.

To download the latest eLicenser Control Center (eLC), please go to:

http://www.elicenser.net/en/latest_downloads.html

You'll need a StiX Activation Code to load your license onto the dongle (This Activation code has been sent to you in the email confirmation

of your purchase)

First, plug your dongle into a USB port of your computer. Then launch the License Control Center.

Select "Enter authorization code" and Enter your Activation Code in the reserved field, and press Next.

Wait for the license to be downloaded and then check to see if the license is correctly loaded on the dongle in the main section of the

License Control Center.

With the iLok version of the StiX, you need to plug an iLok USB key into your computer or use the Soft-iLok (computer based

protection)

After you have downloaded and installed the latest PACE drivers, justLaunch the iLok License manager, login, and select "redeem

iLok code" to create your license.

Then drag your license to the location you want (iLok USB key or computer).

To download the latest PACE drivers, please go to:

To install the StiX on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, launch the StiX installer file downloaded from the XILS-lab website. ( Please make

sure you install the latest version)

Once you have accepted the license agreement, you will be asked to select the installation directory. A destination directory is provided as a

default. Presets and various files, like this manual, used by the StiX will be stored in this directory. Please note that this location is different

from the VST install directory, which you will need to specify in the next step of the installer.

Once the installation directory is specified, you will be asked to select the VST plug-in directory, with a suggested default location. Keep this

default directory if you do not use the VST version.
