GETTING STARTED - Authorizing On A Computer NOT Connected To The Internet

 

If your computer is not connected to the Internet, please follow these instructions for authorizing Omnisphere. You will need a flash drive, hard drive, or blank CD/DVD available for use when following these instructions.

 

1.After instantiating Omnisphere into your sequencer, click the Omnisphere splash screen:

 

2. Click the COPY button to copy the challenge code.

3. Open a text editor application (such as Text Edit (Mac), Notepad / Wordpad (PC)). Paste into a blank new document. On a Mac, hold COMMAND and press 'V'. On a PC, hold CTRL and press 'V'. The challenge code will now appear in the document. Save the document as a Rich Text File (RTF) with a filename of your choice.

 

4. Move the RTF file to a flash drive, hard drive, or burn it to a blank CD/DVD. You will need to transport this document over to a computer that has an Internet connection. Flash drives are recommended because they are cheap and quickly move files between computers.

 

5. Open the RTF file on a computer with an Internet connection. Highlight the entire challenge code in the document and Copy it. On a Mac, hold COMMAND and press 'C'. On a PC, hold CTRL and press 'C'.

 

6. Log in to the Spectrasonics website with your User Account name and password

9. You'll then paste your Challenge code in the field on the Authorization page. Please enter the details about your Computer as well, as it will be necessary if you require tech support.

 

10. You'll then receive a Response Code, which you'll select with your cursor and copy (Control-C on Windows or Command-C on Mac):

 

11. Open up a blank new document in a text editor application. Paste into the document. The Response Code will now appear in the document. Save the document as a Rich Text File (RTF) with a filename of your choice.

 

12. Move the RTF file to a flash drive, hard drive, or burn it to a blank CD/DVD. You will need to transport this document back over to the music computer.

 

13. Open up the RTF file which contains the Response Code on your music computer. Select and highlight the Response Code in the document and Copy it. On a Mac, hold COMMAND and press 'C'. On a PC, hold CTRL and press 'C'.
