myCelemony

Registration means opening a user account in the myCelemony area. This generally happens in conjunction with your activation of Melodyne. You can then access this account from any computer hooked up to the Internet by entering your user name and password.

Your myCelemony account consists of a customer profile and a hierarchically arranged product display. There you can:-

	see all the Celemony products you have activated as well as their activation status;
	download the latest installation programs for your products as well as the corresponding updates;
	in some cases, download other Celemony products at a favorable price or else free of charge;
	choose which type of Celemony newsletter you wish to receive and edit your other user data.

To »activate« means to authorize the use of your copy of Melodyne on a particular computer. You have to activate Melodyne before you can use it for any length of time. We distinguish three ways of activating Melodyne:

	Online activation: Melodyne establishes a direct internet connection with the myCelemony server. Therefore your music computer requires to be hooked up to the Internet
	Offline activation: this is done by exporting and importing small files. Your music computer does not have to be online, but you need to have access to the Internet from any other computer (office, Internet café, …)
	iLok: this involves the use of an iLok copy protection dongle from PACE and requires you to own an iLok dongle and be capable of accessing the Internet from any computer (office, Internet café, …).

An activation assistant integrated into Melodyne offers you all the options mentioned above and guides you through all the steps necessary for registration and activation. The assistant runs automatically the first time you launch Melodyne.

If you have already activated your Melodyne on a computer, the program is ready to run, and the activation assistant no longer displays further activation options – not even the one for the transfer of your license to an iLok. You can still request a transfer, though, in your myCelemony account at any time.

Please note: Once you have opted for iLok activation, you can no longer request any computer-specific activations from myCelemony. Your iLok, in other words, becomes the exclusive 'access key' to Melodyne.

If you have any problems with the activation, please consult our support at registration@celemony.com.

If you are selling your computer or no longer wish to use it for making music, you can and should deactivate Melodyne. (Obviously this is only possible if Melodyne has been activated on the computer, not if you are using an iLok to activate it). Once you have deactivated Melodyne, your myCelemony user account can be credited with a new activation, which you can use for your new computer. Deactivation is performed using Melodyne's activation assistant – please visit the manual for details.
