Modified on Wed, 27 Sep 2023 at 02:31 PM

Introduction


Acustica Audio products can be authorized using the Aquarius Desktop application and the Aquarius Web Services.


The Aquarius Desktop application is a free standalone application that will manage the downloading, installation, and authorization of your product in a semi-automatic way with minimal user intervention. To learn more about the Aquarius Desktop application, read the online guide.


The Aquarius Web Services is a free web service that will manage the transfers and authorization slots of your product in a semi-automatic way with minimal user intervention.


The anti-copy protection


The Acustica Audio anti-copy protection included in all products is based on a simple challenge & response system automated via the Aquarius Desktop application that requires the use of a reliable internet connection on the computer where you want to install and authorize the products. The Aquarius Web can be helpful to authorize computers without an internet connection, but it will be mandatory to use an additional computer to upload and download the authorization files with a reliable internet connection.
