• How to Purchase and Activate Products
To get started, download and install the PluginInstaller, and run it.
Once PluginInstaller is running, you need to create a user account first.
After that, you can browse the catalogs, download trial versions, purchase full versions...
Links to supplier catalogs below.
Inside the catalogs, you can look for a product you're interested in, and click it to bookmark it. Nothing gets downloaded or installed yet - it's just a bookmark on the 'Installing and Ordering' window.
Note: PluginInstaller is still very 'rough' around the edges, and we still have a lot of work to do to make it a bit more user-friendly. Sorry about that, we're working on it!
Choose your platform and download the PluginInstaller:
Mac OS X Big Sur or higher on Intel or Apple SiliconUnzip and place in a convenient location. No installation required.
Open the application by double-clicking the .exe (Windows) or application (Mac) file.
Use the File menu to select a usage mode:
• Standard Mode: For purchasing and activating products.
• Developer/Publisher Mode: For product creation and management.
Ensure you have a registered, unlocked account in the PluginInstaller, in Standard Mode.
New users can create an account by clicking the 'New' button. Choose a secret Unlock code (which is like a password) and enter it twice.
If you're on a computer in a safe environment (office, home...) you can save the unlock code to avoid having to re-enter it each time you launch the PluginInstaller.
Make sure to register the account with our server by clicking the 'Register' button.
Use the 'Browse the Store for Software' menu in the PluginInstaller to bookmark software products.
When you click a bookmark, it will take you to the 'Installing and Ordering' window. Some products can be downloaded and installed from this window. Some products will have a trial version available.
Order a license for a product by filling out a purchase order on the bottom part of the 'Installing and Ordering window'. Save the file, and email it to the supplier of the product.
After payment, you'll receive a license file via email. At the moment, payment handling is not integrated into the PluginInstaller; you need to manually fullfill the payment (e.g. by sending an amount via PayPal)
Use the PluginInstaller to open the file and activate your product.
