Prerequisites

To start, if the download is a .zip file, un-zip the contents. Place both the .LUA and .XML files on your USB stick under /grandMA3/gma3_library/datapools/plugins/.

There are some prerequisites to register your USB license for the plugin. You will need:

  • MA3 OnPC/Mac, or a Console.
  • USB stick which will become your license stick.
  • Active internet connection.
If you find the plugin stops working after rebooting the MA3 software. Please follow the plugin import steps again. You will not need to follow the registration steps again.
Because of hardware restrictions, certain USB drives cannot be used with our licensing system. For more information click here

Importing The Plugin

To install the plugin, from MA3 software, open the plugin pool window, tap edit and select an empty pool item.

Click “Import” and select your USB drive from the drive select. Import “PluginName_VX.X.xml”.

Licensing

Each activation code, as standard, allows for 2 USB drives to be registered as keys. If your USB drive is lost or corrupt and you have exceeded the amount of licenses, you will need to purchase the plugin again.

Once the plugin is in the show file, tap the pool icon to run it for the first time. You will see a popup dialog with the option to register a USB to use the plugin. Click ‘Register USB’.

Select the USB from the list that you want to use as your ‘key’.

Important: Make sure the USB that you want to use as your ‘key’ is inserted. You will only be able to use the plugin when this USB drive is inserted into the console. This can be the same as the USB drive you would normally use to save your MA3 showfiles to.

When you purchased The Plugin, on the email with the download link – you will have received an activation code. Type this code when prompted. Make sure upper and lower case letters are entered correctly.

The Plugin is now installed and registered to use with the selected USB Key.

You will notice that on the USB you have selected, a new folder labelled ‘MA Tools’ has appeared.This contains the license key information, you will need this to run the plugin.
