Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 13

Activating the Steinberg Key
Whether you bought a new key when you bought Groove Agent 3, or if
you want to use one you previously bought with a different Steinberg
product: Your Steinberg Key does not yet contain the license required
for Groove Agent 3. You must download this license before you can
launch Groove Agent 3!
Use the activation code supplied with the program in order to down-
load the license for Groove Agent 3 to your Steinberg Key. This pro-
cess is the same both for existing and new keys. Proceed as follows:
1. After installation of the dongle drivers and the program software (and,
on a Windows PC, after restarting your computer), plug the Steinberg
Key into the USB port.
If you are unsure of which port this is, consult the documentation of your computer.
2. If this is the first time a copy protection device is plugged in, it will be
registered as a new hardware device. On a Mac, drivers are found au-
tomatically without further user interaction. Windows will display a di-
alog box asking you whether you would like to find drivers for the
device manually or automatically.
Under Windows, choose to find drivers automatically. The dialog box closes, and you
may have to reboot your computer.
3. Make sure that your computer has a working internet connection. Li-
cense download is done "online".
If the computer on which you installed Groove Agent 3 is not connected to the inter-
net, it is possible to use another computer for the online connection – proceed with
the steps below and see the help for the License Control Center application.
4. Launch the "License Control Center" application (found in the Win-
dows Start menu under "Syncrosoft" or in the Macintosh Applications
folder).
This application allows you to view your Steinberg Keys and load or transfer licenses.
5. Use the License Control Center "Wizard" function and the activation
code supplied with Groove Agent 3 to download the license for
Groove Agent 3 to your Key. Simply follow the on-screen instructions.
If you are uncertain about how to proceed, consult the help for License Control Center.
When the activation process is completed, you are ready to launch
Groove Agent 3!
