We believe that virtually all people will do the right thing when given the chance to do so, and that users should not be punished for the actions of other bad actors. So with that in mind, here is how our licensing works.

  • Our plugins process sound in exactly the same way whether you have a license or not. No beeps, no noises, no dropouts. Bit-for-bit identical.
  • There is no "time bomb" limitation in our evaluation plugins. They just keep working. No technical limitations, only legal and moral ones.
  • Our plugins may contain a nag screen that prompts you to buy a license until a valid license file is in place.
  • If you are using the plugins for non-commercial use and you are using REAPER (http://www.reaper.fm) as a host, there is a discounted license available. This license is only valid within REAPER. All other combinations of host software and commercial use should buy a full license.
  • We offer a 30-day evaluation period. There are no technical limitations in place to enforce this, but by downloading and installing the plugins, you are agreeing to abide by the terms of our license agreement. After 30 days you should either purchase a license or remove the plugin(s) from your machine.
  • Bought a license? It is good for two machines.
  • All paid products now use Stripe Checkout. Your payment receipt comes from Stripe or Link, and your license file always arrives separately from Stillwell Audio as an email attachment.
  • Save the attached license file when it arrives, and keep a backup copy.
  • If you need help with license delivery, contact licensing@stillwellaudio.com or open a ticket through support.stillwellaudio.com.
