Downloading and Installing Source-LTC

This article is part of the Source-LTC User Guide

All Source Elements software is obtained by download directly from our website. Simply log in with your account and proceed to the Downloads section (https://dashboard.source-elements.com/products).

To get access to the Downloads page you will need:

• A free iLok account
• A valid evaluation or purchased license for Source-LTC

For more information on iLok: https://source-elements.com/support/ilok

If you requested an evaluation license, or purchased a license, you should have also created a new Source Elements account at the same time. You can of course use an existing Source Elements account. Use your account to login to your dashboard and download the software.

If you did not receive an account invite visit: https://dashboard.source-elements.com/

Installing Source-LTC

You should now have downloaded the correct software for your iLok license (i.e. a license for v1.0 won’t work for v2.0).

• The download link will save a .dmg file in your Mac.
• Open the .dmg to see a Finder window with the installer, the uninstaller and the user guide.
• Open the installer and follow its prompts.
• Once the installation is completed you may keep or discard the installer software.

Installing iLok Extensions

You must have the iLok Extensions installed to allow Source-Connect to recognise your iLok. iLok extensions are installed with the Installer Application. The installer will not overwrite extensions which are more recent, and will only upgrade older versions. You may need to restart the computer if this is the first time you have installed the iLok Extensions.

Activating your License

All Source Elements applications rely on iLok’s licensing technology. To activate your Source-LTC license (whether it is a trial or a purchased license), you will need to install the iLok License Manager (http://installers.ilok.com/iloklicensemanager/LicenseSupportInstallerMac.zip). 

• Download the .zip archive containing the iLok License Manager installer from the link above.
• Extract the .zip to see the .dmg file that contains the installer application.
• Open the License Support.pkg file and follow the prompts.
• Once the installation is completed you may keep or discard the installer software.

To activate your license, open the iLok License Manager app you just installed in your Mac (this will be in your Applications folder). When asked to give the app permissions to manage your Mac, click the Open System Preferences button; in the System Preferences window, click the lock to make changes and provide your Mac password; then mark the check box for iLok License Manager; then:

• Sign in to the iLok License Manager app.
• A list of available licenses will be displayed on the right.
• Click the Source-LTC license to highlight it.
• Drag and drop the license to the available locations, listed to the left in the iLok License Manager window.
• Confirm the activation.
• You may close the iLok Licence Manager app now.

Uninstalling on macOS

To uninstall Source-LTC application, simply remove it from your applications folder (right-click/two-finger tap > Move to Trash, or command+delete).
