My keys don't work...

- As described in the plugin(s) itself, to validate the keys, you have to restart the plugin. Remove the plugin from your signal chain and load it again. If the unlock screen with the keys still reappears, try the next steps.

- Have you tried to copy the key's over again from the email or license dashboard?

- Did you check there where no 'Spaces' before or after the key's you've entered. This can happen when copy/pasting them over.

- Have you tried to manually type the key's in?

- If you use Studio One 6 on MacOS, please open the FAQ tab under this one.

Also, make sure you are trying to unlock the right plugin. We have a free plugin 'Reeferb' and a paid version 'Reeferb IR'. We noticed that some people are trying to unlock 'Reeferb IR' with a free 'Reeferb' License.

If nothing works you can always contact us via info@carpaudio.com - We're ready to assist you!

Installer gets detected as a virus... (Windows)

To distribute an automated installer without triggering security warnings, we need a code signing certificate. Obtaining this certificate requires financial resources that we aim to secure through sales and growth. Until then, we provide manual installation and an installer which may get detected as a virus. We appreciate your support as we work towards issueless automated installation options in the future.
