The Authorization window allows you to:

Trial & Demo Modes

A 30 day trial period will start when you first open the RX 6 Audio Editor or RX 6 plug-ins. After the 30 day trial period has expired, RX 6 will enter demo mode. To disable Trial or Demo mode, you must authorize the product with a valid serial number.

Trial Mode

Trial mode begins when the RX Audio Editor is first opened or when an RX 6 plug-in is first instantiated in a DAW/NLE. The authorization wizard window will display the number of days remaining in your trial period.

  • iLok Authorization

    iLok authorization note

    RX 6 supports the use of iLok for authorization if you have the iLok License Manager installed on your system. RX does not install the iLok License Manager (or any iLok drivers) during installation. Please visit the iLok website to download and install the iLok License Manager if you wish to store your RX authorization on an iLok.

    Follow these steps to authorize RX 6 using an iLok:

  • When the Authorization Wizard appears, choose “Authorize”
  • Enter the serial number in all capital letters as it is shown on the included card or purchase confirmation email.
  • Enter your name and a valid email address.

    Why is an email address required to authorize?

  • Select “Use iLok Authorization” and enter your iLok ID. If you do not have an iLok ID, you will need to create one. Entering an ID in this field will not create a new iLok account. Please visit the iLok website for information on creating an iLok ID.

  • When you have confirmed that your information is accurate, click on “Authorize.”

  • Click on “Submit” in order to send your authorization message to the iZotope servers.

  • You will now be instructed to log in to your iLok account and transfer your RX 6 Audio Editor license to your iLok.

  • After transferring the authorization to your iLok, ensure the iLok is plugged into your machine and click “Next”

  • If authorization was successful, a confirmation screen will appear. Click “Finish” to begin using RX 6.

  • Removing Authorization

    Use the Remove Authorization button in the RX 6 Audio Editor’s Auth & Updates tab within the Preferences to remove your current RX 6 Audio Editor authorization.

    Note for iLok users attempting to remove authorization

    Remove the iLok containing an RX 6 license from your machine in order to remove authorization.

    After removing your authorization, RX 6 Audio Editor’s authorization screen will pop up when you restart the program. Now you can re-authorize using a new serial number. You may also remove your authorization at any time in order to run in Trial or Demo mode.
