License Activation

When you open MNodes for the first time (either in your DAW or standalone), it will ask for your credentials:

  1. Enter the email associated with your purchase
  2. Enter the serial number you received

That's it. Once activated, MNodes will never ask for your email or serial again unless you release the license slot or format your computer (which erases the registration and requires re-entering your credentials).

Managing Your Licenses

You can manage your license slots in two ways:

  • From MNodes: Go to Settings → License and release a license slot to free it for another computer
  • From your account: Go to marionietoworld.com, log into your account, and manage or deactivate licenses from one computer to transfer to another

This is useful when you get a new computer:simply release the slot on the old machine (or from your online account) and activate on the new one.
