One installer per plugin

Blue Cat Audio installation.

Blue Cat Audio releases a separate installer for each plugin, so you only download the ones you bought. Set aside about ten minutes. You will need the activation code from your licence email.

How to install and activate

Before you start: you will handle two different codes

From us

Activation code

From Blue Cat Audio

Licence key

The software only accepts the licence key — the activation code will be rejected there.

  1. 1

    Register your serial number

    Go to the Blue Cat Audio serial registration page and enter the serial number and email address from your order.

    Open ↗
    TIPYou can only register a serial number once, and you can't change the email afterwards, so double-check it before submitting.

    Your activation code

    It is in your licence email, in the purple panel. Signed in? It is in your account too.

    Sign in to view it
  2. 2

    Check your email for download links

    Blue Cat Audio emails you the download links and everything needed to download and register your software.

  3. 3

    Download and install each plugin

    Every plugin in your order has its own installer — download and run the installer for your operating system from the links in the email.

    TIPWhen the installer asks which plug-in formats you want, tick VST3 and AU on Mac, or VST3 and AAX on Windows if you use Pro Tools.
  4. 4

    Open your DAW and check

    Restart your DAW so it rescans for new plug-ins, then load one of your Blue Cat Audio plug-ins on a track to confirm it is registered.

If something goes wrong

My code is not accepted

Codes are entered exactly as sent — paste rather than retype, and keep or drop dashes exactly as the steps say. Still stuck? Contact us with your order number and we will sort it, usually the same day.

The plug-in does not show up in my music program

Check you installed the format your program uses and rescan its plug-in folders. The Blue Cat Audio help pages cover each program's scan settings.

I bought this but have no email

Check spam first — licence emails arrive within minutes of payment. Nothing there? Contact us and we will resend it.

I bought several products

Each product has its own installer, and codes only unlock the product they were issued for — work down your order one at a time.
