ALLModules – Rack FX (the plugins), Rack IEM (the in-ears) and the WING Extension. Without Rack IEM there's no IEM layer; without Rack FX the app is the in-ears only; without the WING Extension a WING is an audio interface like any other.
ALLActivation – the first start opens an activation window: Activate in the browser signs you in at shadowrack.eu and activates this Mac; a Mac without internet is activated with two files. Three Macs per licence.
ALLThe licence is checked at every start – in the background. Shadow Rack starts at once with the licence stored on the Mac and only asks shadowrack.eu afterwards. Without internet it works for 60 days.
ALLSetup > Licence – who the licence is for, this Mac, and every module with a switch: you can switch a module off on this Mac (it takes effect after a restart), Check again after you buy more, and Deactivate this Mac frees its seat.
