To activate the plugins, you need a free iLok account and the iLok License Manager application. Each Creator Plan license provides authorization for all the included plugins and allows for two activations. You can activate the license to either iLok Cloud or an iLok 2 or 3 generation key. To redeem the license, you can either use the code found in your order receipt or redeem it through the activation window pop-up that appears when you insert a plugin in your DAW after installation.
You can download the latest version installers for each plugin from the SendOwl link in your order receipt or from the KIT Plugins website downloads page (which requires an account sign-up).
The plugins are compatible with macOS 10.14 or above (Intel or M-Series*), Windows 7 or above, and require a 64-bit DAW. Pro Tools users on M-Series computers will need to run the software under Rosetta for all plugins except for Blackbird N105 and Blackbird N73, which are currently compatible with Pro Tools 2023.3. (Note: AAX Native Apple Silicon support is coming soon.)
