FLUX:: uses the iLok license management system to deliver software licenses to users.

SPAT Revolution Essential license comes with one (1) activation whereas the SPAT Revolution Ultimate Bundle includes two (2) activation linked to your user account.

FLUX:: Center
The next step is to get the installers for the FLUX:: products you are licensed for. All the software and plugins from FLUX:: are available via our FLUX:: Center software. This is a Mac or Windows application we have created to help keep your FLUX:: products up to date and to give you a clear overview of what you have installed. Firstly, please visit the download section of the FLUX:: Website to get the installer for the FLUX:: Center application.
On this page, you will find a macOS, a Windows 64 bits. As well are provided legacy versions for older operating systems. After downloading and installing, you can open the FLUX:: Center applications to begin the process of installing the SPAT Revolution software.
Authentication is required at the launch of FLUX:: Center. This is the login details of your FLUX shop account which allows you to see only your products licensed for (temporary or permanent).
Center Preferences
When you open FLUX:: Center you will see a page that lists all FLUX:: products available for you to install. You will also find information about which version you have currently installed on your system and which new versions might be available for you to update. You can select versions to install - or uninstall if necessary - using the pull-down menus. If you would like to access more installer options such as your preferred plug-in format, please click on the gear icon at the top right of the header area.
Center Preferences and Options
SPAT Revolution Send/Room/Return plugins are available in VST-64bit, AU-64bit and AAX-64bit only.
This preference page will allow you to choose various installation options such as preferred plug-in formats for your system. Choosing your format and returning to the main page by pressing the OK button will show all your install options for software and plugins based on the desired formats chosen.
If you would like to be closer to the most current development cycles of the software, you can enable the Beta Versions option. This will give you access to a special set of software installers from the pull-down menus on the main FLUX:: Center page. Beta versions are the new builds that are still under development but may contain useful bug fixes and new features. If you find that a beta version is not stable enough for you, then you can always roll back to a stable release version at any time through the FLUX:: Center installers. Note that these versions start with a B whereas official releases start with a V.
