Switching to Melodyne studio trial mode

Switching to trial mode

When you switch to trial mode, your Melodyne essential, assistant or editor will be transformed for 30 days – free of charge and without obligation - into Melodyne studio, the largest Melodyne edition, which contains the full range of Melodyne functions. You can use all these functions for 30 days without restriction, exactly as if you had purchased Melodyne studio. Trial mode can only be activated once on the same computer. To switch to trial mode, and each time you launch Melodyne studio during the trial period, you will need an Internet connection.

Here’s how to activate trial mode:

1) Start Melodyne. Next go to the Help menu and select “License”.

In the plugin:

In the stand-alone implementation:

2) You will be directed to your user account in your browser where you will see your license options. In the “Melodyne studio trial mode” frame, switch to trial mode:

That’s all there is to it. Trial mode will remain active for 30 days, so when you return now to Melodyne you will see that the “Melodyne studio” edition is running.

Comparing editions

If you wish, you can switch to a smaller edition in the course of the trial period in order to compare the range of functions offered by the various editions. This could be useful, for instance, if you own Melodyne essential and are wondering which of the larger editions to upgrade to. Easy. Just try them all.

To switch editions, select “License” from the Help menu exactly as before. This will take you back to your user account in your browser, where you will be given the option of switching to one of the smaller editions.

Your choice, however, will only remain effective while Melodyne is actually running. As soon as you restart Melodyne, the full Melodyne studio function set will be restored.

Expiry of the trial period

At the end of the 30-day trial period, Melodyne will automatically revert to your previous edition. Further editing of projects created during the trial period will still be possible, but only using the functions of your previous Melodyne edition. Playback, however, will be unaffected, so none of the work you did during the trial period will be lost.

Convinced?

If you wish, you can switch permanently to Melodyne studio at any time during the trial period or thereafter. The requisite upgrade can be obtained from our web shop or from your local dealer.
