Software Licenses and iLok
First of all, to use Flux:: software, an iLok user account is required, with the exception for Flux:: Freeware products, BitterSweet and StereoTool, which both do not require any iLok user account or licenses at all. Flux:: software licenses allow for two simultaneous activations, and support all generations iLok USB keys as well as activation direct to a computer workstation.

WINDOWS USERS IMPORTANT – Prerequisites when using Flux:: Center on Windows
If you have any Flux:: / Ircam / Jünger Audio software that was installed before installing Flux:: Center, using standard Windows Installer MSI installation files, then ALL previously installed Flux:: / Ircam / Jünger software needs to be uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs, before installing and using Flux:: Center for the first time.
Starting up Center for the first time
After installing and starting Flux:: Center it will begin downloading resources from our servers and a progress bar is displayed. When the download is finished, you will then be able to start using Center to install your software.
Flux:: Center Preferences Setup
Flux:: Center is used for installing all our software and all of the different plug-in formats. When using Center for the first time, you should set up the Center Preferences to only download and install the plug-in formats that you need.
To access Center Preferences, simply click on the gear symbol located to the right at the top of the Center window.
