Authorization and Options

Authorization

The first time you open Nectar 3 Elements, the Authorization window will appear.

The Authorization window allows you to:

• TRIAL: Start or continue a Trial period evaluation prior to purchasing
• DEMO: Continue evaluating the product with Demo limitations (after the 10 day Trial period has been exceeded)
• AUTHORIZE: Authorize the product with a serial number

Trial and Demo Modes

A 10 day trial period will start when you first open the Nectar 3 Elements plug-in. After the 10 day trial period has expired, Nectar 3 Elements will enter demo mode. To disable Trial or Demo mode, you must authorize the product with a valid serial number.

Trial Mode

Trial mode begins when Nectar 3 Elements is first instantiated in a DAW/NLE. The authorization wizard window will display the number of days remaining in your trial period.

Clicking on the “Continue” button will dismiss the Authorization window and allow you to continue evaluating Nectar 3 Elements in trial mode.

Demo Mode

After 10 days, Nectar 3 Elements will operate in Demo mode. Nectar 3 Elements will periodically output silence when operating in demo mode. If you would like to continue evaluating Nectar 3 Elements in demo mode, click the “Demo” button.
