Every time I launch SwarPlug, it asks for the Product Key? Why?

Windows

For using plugins with your favorite VST sequencer, you should copy the SwarPlug.dll file and the SwarPlugData folder(placed in Swar Systems/Plugins folder), within the vstplugins or plugins folder of your sequencer. (Normally C:Program Files/Steinberg/vstplugins folder)

Please note, that you don't have to move the entire Swar Systems folder, only copy SwarPlug.dll file and SwarPlugData folder, which are placed in Swar Systems folder, to the VST or plugins folder of your sequencer. Some sequencers also allow you to specify a custom location of VST plugins. In this case, just add a path to where you have installed SwarPlug.

After you place SwarPlug.dll file and SwarPlugData folder in VST Plugins/Plugins folder of your sequencer, you won’t be asked for Product Key again.

Mac

If you are being asked the Product Key again and again, this means that SwarPlug is still in locked mode. While installing make sure that you first unlock the plugin before moving any files. After the installation, you should run the Unlock application(available in Swar Systems folder) and enter the Product Key. This will unlock the plugin. After that, move the component, vst and data files to the folders as mentioned below:

Important: If you have already moved the files before unlocking the plugin, then move them back to Swar Systems folder, run unlock application, enter Product Key and then move the vst, component and SwarPlugData folder to the folders as mentioned above.
