The 14-Day Trial
The trial uses the same platform-specific installer as the licensed product and provides the complete MetalGuitarEQ processing workflow for 14 days. After the trial expires, the plugin stops applying processing until a valid license is activated. It does not intentionally mute your source audio.
Activate Your License
- Open the license email from Lemon Squeezy.
- Copy the license key.
- Open MetalGuitarEQ in your DAW.
- Open the activation interface.
- Paste the license key and confirm activation.
Internet access is required during activation. Normal plugin use works offline after activation succeeds.
If the License Email Has Not Arrived
Check spam, junk, and promotions folders for the email address used at checkout. Search for messages from Lemon Squeezy and confirm the order completed successfully. If the license is still missing, contact us with the order number and purchase email address. Never send payment-card details.
Device Activations
One MetalGuitarEQ license includes 3 activations for up to 3 devices. If a device has been replaced or an activation cannot be recovered, contact support with the purchase email address and order number.
