How to Install ISW Products Purchased from a Third Party Distributor

Table of Contents

Distributor Redemption Methods

The third party companies who sell our products all have various ways of handling software purchases. In this article, we'll cover the most common methods and what to do in each situation.

1. Activation Code Sent Directly

If you purchase from a third party and they give you a code that looks like one of these two codes:

	 XXXXX - XXXXX - XXXXX - XXXXX - XXXXX
	 xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Then you have received the product code and you do not need to worry about any additional steps.

Please note this method does NOT add your product to your ISW account - you need to contact support to add it to your account and become eligible for deals on our site.

To finish setup for these codes, simply follow the installation process as normal. Click here for Kontakt Player setup, and here for Kontakt Full setup.

2. Redemption Code

These codes will be a string of numbers and letters with NO dashes. 
Here is an example of what your code may look like: 
	 MG1T20NN3W
Important: This code is NOT for Pulse / Native Access. It is a redemption code on the ISW website.
To redeem this code, please follow these instructions carefully:
1. Log in [link: https://impactsoundworks.com/my-account/] to your Impact Soundworks account. If you don't have one, create an account on that page.
2. Go to this code redemption page and input the code: https://impactsoundworks.com/redeem-code/
3. You will now have the product in your cart for $0. Complete the checkout to receive your download/activation number and follow the normal product setup instructions.
With this process, your purchase DOES add the product to your ISW account.
Please see the FAQ below for what Deals you become eligible for.
