After you have entered your license information, you will need to restart the plug-in host, so make sure you save your settings if needed. From now on, you will be able to use FabFilter Micro for an unlimited period of time with full support via email.
No, Educational licenses will not expire, and you will of course be able to use them also after the educational status of your account expires.The only difference between an Educational license and a normal license, is that it's NFR (Not For Resale). Because of the great discounts, you cannot sell/transfer it to another person in the future.
Just download the Total Bundle or single plug-in installer for your platform on a computer with Internet, and copy it on e.g. a USB stick. Also copy your license key (which you can download from your online FabFilter account) in a text file on the USB stick.On your music computer without Internet, you can now run the installer and register the plug-ins by copy/pasting the license key from the USB stick.
As a workaround, you can simply load and save presets using the internal presets menu in Pro-Q, which works in any plug-in format on both OS X and Windows: www.fabfilter.com/help/pro-q/presets/loadingpresets.html

A normal FabFilter license is personal, but if you need a license which can be used by more than one person (for example, you have a studio with multiple control rooms, and different people working there), you need a site license for multiple seats.We offer an increasing discount for every additional seat. Here's how the discounts are calculated: 1st seat = full price
2nd seat = 40% discount
3rd seat = 45% discount
4th seat = 50% discount
5th seat = 55% discount
6th seat = 60% discount
seat 7-10 = 65% discount
seat 11-20 = 70% discount
seat 21-35 = 75% discount
seat 36-50 = 80% discount
seat 51+ = 85% discount

FabFilter licenses give you access to plug-ins of the current/specified major version, and will include all future minor updates for free (e.g. version 2.19 to version 2.20). Minor updates typically include bug fixes or small new features.
A FabFilter license does not include any future new major versions of the products (e.g. version 1.x to version 2.x). Essentially, a new major version is a brand new plug-in, with a fully re-worked engine and interface, requiring just as much research and development work.
A bundle license gives you access to the current/specified major versions of the plug-ins that the bundle contains at the moment of purchase. A bundle license does not include any new plug-ins or new major versions released and/or added to the offered bundle in the future.
No, our plug-ins don't need an iLok. Instead, we use a fairly simple license key system. Just copy/paste the license key from your account or purchase e-mail into the license dialog and you're done.When working in different studios from time to time, you can simply authorize the plug-ins using your license key, and deauthorize them again when you're done, via the Help -> Deauthorize option in the plug-in interface.
When entering a license key into the license dialog of a computer, you should first of all make sure you copy all of the information, including the '-- COPY --' lines, and the 'Licensee' and 'Product' lines. Also, make sure that you are entering a license key for the correct plug-in.When you're entering an Upgrade license key (for example a Timeless 2 upgrade from Timeless 1), the original plug-in should be installed and licensed on your system, otherwise the upgrade license won't work! You can also log in to your FabFilter account and use the license key you find there; the account system automatically detects whether you own a previous version and displays a full key in that case, which will work without the previous version installed.
Yes. FabFilter license keys are personal and contain your name. So you may install and license FabFilter plug-ins them on multiple computers (both Windows and OS X, 32-bit or 64-bit), as long as you are the one using them. For example, you can use the plug-ins on both your studio computer and live laptop, etc.Multiple-seat licenses are needed for studios that would like to install the plug-ins in various studio rooms, or schools that would like to install the software in their class room computers or studios, etc. Of course, we offer great discounts for site licenses!

Do you possibly use tools like lipo or Monoligual to strip the PowerPC binary from the plug-ins? Or any other tool that might alter the binary? This will trigger the piracy warning...In that case, please first remove our plug-ins from your computer, and then re-install them from our web site www.fabfilter.com/download/ without altering the binary afterwards.Otherwise, could it be that you have ever installed unofficial versions of our plug-ins, and that some of these are still in your plug-ins folder?If this doesn't solve your problem, e-mail us and we'll try to help you as soon as possible!
A FabFilter license can only be transferred to another person via the FabFilter account of the seller, using the official license transfer feature. If the seller does not agree to do this, he is not selling a legit license, and you should not purchase.
It might be a legit user selling his/her license, e.g via eBay... but most of the cases it's actually not. You'll be either sold a hacked version of the software or you'll simply loose your money and receive nothing at all.
If you're not sure whether an offering is legit, ask the seller for the e-mail address he uses for his FabFilter account. Then ask us to verify this person actually has an account and owns the license(s) he is selling. Of course, you can always purchase via if you want to be 100% sure you're buying a legal license.
