Product Registration
To use your VIProducer plugins, you must first install the UVI Workstation if you don’t already have it on your system. It is a very powerful engine and can be downloaded at uvi.net/downloads. Once the UVI Workstation has been installed on your system, you can proceed to installing and authorizing your new plugins from VIProducer.
Step 1:
Once you have purchased your plugins, you will find your license code and a download link in the ‘View Orders’ section of your VIProducer account.

Step 2b:
Open the iLok license manager (Download here if you haven’t already: https://www.ilok.com/#!license-manager) and under the ‘Available’ tab will be able to transfer your product licenses to up to three different machines or iLoks.
Step 3:
You can now download your plugins in the ‘View Downloads’ section of your VIProducer account. Save this file to your Desktop for ease.
Step 4:
The file will appear on your desktop as a .zip file. You need to double click on it to unzip it. Another file will then appear on your desktop with a .ufs extension.
