Authorizing Plug-Ins on VENUE Systems
After installing a plug-in on a VENUE system, the system re-creates the list of available plug-ins. Whenever the racks initialize, the system checks authorizations for all installed plug-ins. If no previous authorization for a plug-in is recognized, you will be prompted to authorize the the plug-in.

For complete instructions on authorizing plug-ins for VENUE systems, see the documentation that came with your VENUE system.
VENUE supports challenge/response and iLok USB Smart Key authorization, including pre-authorized iLoks and Activation Cards.
Challenge/Response
Challenge/response authorization is only valid for the VENUE system the plug-in is currently installed on. Challenge/response codes can be communicated using any computer with Internet access.
iLok USB Smart Key
Plug-Ins supporting web authorizations through iLok.com can be authorized for your iLok USB Smart Key from any computer with Internet access. This lets you take your iLok and your plug-in authorizations anywhere, to use plug-ins installed on any system.
