Getting Started

  1. Download the current macOS or Windows installer from the 80s Suite product page or your Shopify delivery email.
  2. Run the installer with your DAW closed.
  3. Open 80s Rack or any included effect to begin the account-free 20-minute demo.
  4. Save the signed .lic file from the separate Signalworks license email.
  5. Open Settings, choose License File, and select the .lic file when you are ready to authorize the Suite.

The license is machine-independent and does not require online activation or phone-home checks.

The demo clock covers one 20-minute DAW or standalone host session. Restarting the host begins a fresh demo session. Importing a valid Suite license restores processing immediately, even if the demo has already ended.
