Each license key allows you to install the plug-in on two computers with unique system IDs or on one computer and an iLok dongle. If using a computer based activation, the same license can be used by multiple users, but each user has to individually unlock the full version of the plug-in under her/his account.
No, the plug-in only needs an internet connection during the trial period and for license activation. During the trial perdiod, the plug-in needs to go online everytime it is used. Once the plug-in has successfully been licensed, an internet connection is no longer needed.
Yes, but you can only activate the plug-in on two different computers using a single license key (see licensing system) – no matter if the computers have the same or different operating systems.
If an internet connection is available, the plug-in can automatically check online for newer versions. If a new version of the plug-in is available you’ll get a notification in the plug-in window. By clicking on this label you’ll be forwarded to a website where you can download the latest version of the plug-in. In addition, you can also find the latest version of the plug-in on the product web page.
You can use our plug-ins in any DAW/host that supports AU, VST2, VST3 and AAX (64 bit) for Mac or VST2, VST3 and AAX (64 bit) for Windows. We test our plug-ins prior to any release or update extensively with the latest versions of the following DAWs.
Functionality or our support isn’t limited to the mentioned DAWs.
Since there is no uninstaller, you have to delete the 4 files manually. Depending on your system and the format, you can find and delete them in the following folders:
AU
OS X:
VST
OS X:
Windows:
or
VST3
OS X:
Windows:
AAX

The issue here might be that you need to have the PACE iLok License Manager installed on your machine to use sonible plug-ins. You DO NOT need an iLok account or iLok USB. Download the License Manager here:
iLok License Manager for Mac (32 and 64 bit)
Your anti-virus program might be the reason for this. Try deactivating it before installing your sonible plug-in.
As soon as the trial-period has expired, the plug-in will automatically go into a “restricted mode”. (This mode is indicated by a small text below the logo.) In this mode, no audio data will be processed. If you own a valid license and already activated the plug-in, please contact our support for further assistance.
Since the algorithms behind the smart:engineTM need a lot of processing, drop-outs may occur if the buffer size selected within your DAW is not large enough to perform all necessary processing steps (e.g. ≤ 10ms). To avoid this problem, try using buffer sizes above 10ms (e.g. ≥512 Samples / 44.1kHz).
All our plugins highly depend on a static blocksize due to the high amount of complexity of the calculations. Unfortunately, FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops) is unpredictable when it comes to blocksize handling.
We found the following workaround to avoid a freeze of FL Studio or problems with the audio playback:
FL is highly unpredictable when it comes to blocksize handling. All our plugins highly depend on a static blocksize due to the high amount of complexity of the calculations.
We encountered a similar issue lately and found the following workaround in FL12:
frei:raum ist actually also VST3 – it’s simply not copied to the respective folder
– pick the VST freiraum.dll (probably from C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins) and MOVE it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
– rename it to freiraum.vst3
– open FL and load an instance of frei:raum – the user interface will open (please do NOT start playback)
– click the ‘Settings’ icon in the top-left corner
– switch to the ‘Processing’ tab
– tick the “Used fixed size buffer” checkbox
– audio should start to flow now
Please also make sure that the overall buffersize is at least 1024 samples!
Further, there’s also a fix from Image-Line taken from their their forum:

1. Open FL Studio.
2. Refer to the ‘Plugin Database > Effects’ folder of your FL Studio Browser.
3. Locate and delete any freiraum entries saved in this location by right-clicking the entry and selecting ‘Delete file…’. If you don’t have a favorite entry for freiraum you can proceed.
4. Download, extract, and launch the attached freiraum.reg file. (http://downloads01.sonible.com/download.php?file=misc/freiraum-FL12-fix.zip)
5. Accept any prompts regarding applying the registry key and values.
6. Restart FL Studio once the keys and values are applied.
7. Navigate to ‘Plugin Database > Installed > Effects > VST’ and load the freiraum plugin entry from this location. Test the plugin.
For those concerned about what the registry file does, it adds a key for ‘freiraum’ under ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Image-Line\Shared\Plugins\Fruity Wrapper\Plugins\VST’ with some predefined Wrapper Settings for the plugin, in particular ‘Use fixed size buffers’ is enabled.
