With the exception of certain single plug-ins and the "Educational" and "Berklee" bundles
(NOT other bundles purchased at the educational price), all Waves products require iLok USB key authorization. Read Waves iLok Policy.
If you do not have an iLok, you can purchase one at your local audio dealer or order one through www.iLok.com.
Authorizing your V5 bundle to your iLok is a one-time process that can be completed
on any computer with an internet connection. It doesn’t have to be your audio computer.
The iLok authorization process consists of two phases:
- Selecting your products and iLok in your Waves account.
- Running the Authorizer to complete the process.
If your audio computer is not connected to the internet, download and
install the Authorizers Bundle to your internet computer: Mac or PC.
To receive specific authorization instructions, choose the product you wish
to authorize and your internet computer platform from the filters below.
