Installing StiX
XILS-lab offers you the choice of using
eLicenser,
iLok and Soft Ilok
. This first section describes the process for authorization for
eLicenser. ¨Please note that the Soft Ilok Option doesn’t require a physical dongle
eLicenser drivers
StiX
uses an eLicenser dongle. You must have this dongle connected to a USB port on your computer to run
StiX
work.
Important
: Please take care of your dongle: you need it to run the StiX and it carries your license!
Important Note
: Even if you have already installed the eLicenser drivers for a previous product, please update your eLicenser License
Control to the latest version.
To download the latest eLicenser Control Center (eLC), please go to:
http://www.elicenser.net/en/latest_downloads.html
You’ll need a StiX Activation Code to load your license onto the dongle (This Activation code has been sent to you in the email confirmation
of your purchase)
First, plug your dongle into a USB port of your computer. Then launch the License Control Center.
Select “
Enter authorization code”
and Enter your
Activation Code
in the reserved field, and press Next.
Wait for the license to be downloaded and then check to see if the license is correctly loaded on the dongle in the main section of the
License Control Center.
iLok drivers
With the iLok version of the
StiX
, you need to plug an iLok USB key into your computer or use the Soft-iLok (computer based
protection)
After you have downloaded and installed the latest PACE drivers, justLaunch the iLok License manager, login, and select “redeem
iLok code” to create your license.
Then drag your license to the location you want (iLok USB key or computer).

To install the
StiX
on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, launch the
StiX
installer file downloaded from the XILS-lab website. ( Please make
sure you install the latest version)
http://www.xils-lab.com/pages/StiXbyXils_Download-Installer.html
Once you have accepted the license agreement, you will be asked to select the installation directory. A destination directory is provided as a
default. Presets and various files, like this manual, used by the
StiX
will be stored in this directory. Please note that this location is different
from the VST install directory, which you will need to specify in the next step of the installer.
Once the installation directory is specified, you will be asked to select the VST plug-in directory, with a suggested default location. Keep this
default directory if you do not use the VST version.
