Licensing
Overview
Rewind is available in three different editions, which differ only in the number of channels they can process:
| Edition | Channels | RTA |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | 16 | No |
| Professional | 64 | Yes |
| Production | 128 (wow!) | Yes |
To protect your investment, guard against intellectual property theft, and safeguard our R&D for the future, we use the iLok dongle system to license Rewind. You will need an iLok 2 or iLok 3 to run Rewind.
We chose iLok because we know many engineers will have one already, but if you don't, they can be obtained cheaply from your favourite rainforest-related eCommerce provider, or alternatively Fourier Audio can provide pre-licensed dongles ready for use.
The first time you start Fourier Rewind, you'll be prompted to insert your iLok and enter your activation code to obtain your licence. After that, you should never need to think about it ever again; the licence simply lives on your iLok.
All three editions run via the same Rewind application; if you find you need more channels, simply upgrade your licence - mid-gig if necessary! Upgrade pricing is available.
iLok Login Details
You will be required to have an iLok account linked to your physical iLok.
If this is your first time using an iLok, you can create an iLok account on PACE's website here.
During account creation, you will create a User ID - this is the User ID that allows us to deliver your Rewind licence to your account.
Forgotten your User ID? Visit PACE Support for further assistance.
Activating Your Rewind Licence
When you begin a Rewind trial, or purchase a Rewind licence, you will be asked for your User ID. This will enable us to deposit your licence magically into your iLok account, ready for activation onto your physical iLok.
Once deposited to your account, in order to activate your licence:
- Launch iLok License Manager (installed with Rewind if you don't already have it)
- Login to your iLok account
- Plug in your physical iLok (that is linked to that iLok account)
- Drag your Rewind licence to your iLok (shown in the left hand column of the screen)
