ARTURIA – JUPITER-8V – USER’S MANUAL

3 AUTHORIZATION
Now that your Jupiter-8V2 has been installed, you need to authorize the synthesizer.
This doesn’t apply to owners of the Jupiter-8V previous version, who may use the software right away using
their USB-eLicenser hardware dongle.
Contrary to 1.x versions that used the USB-eLicenser protection scheme, the Jupiter-8V2
uses the “Soft-eLicenser” virtual dongle solution by default. Avoiding the use of a USB
port, this system allows using the synthesizer on one machine, which must be connected
to the Internet during the authorization process.
To transfer your license on another computer, or simply use your synthesizer on several computers (one
instance at a time), you will need:
_ to use one USB-eLicenser hardware dongle (sold separately, also used by many other software editors);
_ in the eLicenser Control Center, to drag-and-drop your license from Soft-eLicenser to USB-eLicenser.
This transfer, requiring a valid Internet connection, can be done both ways:
_ from Soft-eLicenser to USB-eLicenser;
_ from USB-eLicenser to Soft-eLicenser.
Please check the eLicenser documentation installed on your computer for any further technical detail.
The first step is to register your software in order to obtain the activation code that will
enable you to actually use the software.
You should have handy the license serial number of Jupiter-8V2 and the unlock code
(these are an integral part of the software and are printed on a small plastic card)
