Antelope Native Plugins - Get Started
Thank you for being part of the Antelope Audio family!
This guide will help you to download, install and authorize Antelope Native plugins on your computer.
Step 1
Installing the Antelope Launcher
Download the Antelope Launcher for your operating system and install it following the on-screen instructions.
* If you already have the Antelope Launcher installed, ensure that it is up to date.
To check if you are on the latest version go to the “Settings” section and click on “Check for Updates”
You can check the system requirements here.
Step 2
iLok Account Link
Antelope Native plugins use iLok for copyright protection and authorisation.
A free iLok account, linked to your Antelope account, is required to use the plugins.
From the Antelope Launcher:
Navigate to your account information in the upper right corner:
Navigate to the iLok section:
From the Antelope Website:
Navigate to your “User Area”
If you have an active iLok account, click on “Link”
If you wish to create a brand-new account that will be assigned to your Antelope profile, click on “Create iLok account“ or “Sign Up”
- Once the accounts are linked, our system will automatically deposit your licenses to the linked iLok account.
- You can manage your licenses directly from the Antelope Launcher (iLok logo on the top right), or from the iLok License Manager desktop application.
- Antelope Native Plugins can be authorized on iLok Cloud or iLok USB hardware dongle (Gen 2 or higher).
- Machine licenses are supported only for promotional licenses and giveaways.
