New Feature: Direct Install
Direct Install is a powerful new feature that will, over time, allow you to install many more plugins on your
Receptor. Prior to Direct Install, there were three ways to install plugins on Receptor:
• Premium Plugins: These plugins can be purchased and downloaded from Plugorama.com. They have been
“Receptorized” by the developer and are specifically coded to run on Receptor using an iLok. They give
you a 30-day, fully-functional free trial after which you can purchase the software by downloading a license
into your iLok.
• User-Installable Plugins: Some plugins that are not fully “Receptorized” to take advantage of Receptor’s
iLok can be installed by downloading a “prep installer” file from Plugorama. Various files can then be
transferred manually between your computer and Receptor to complete the installation
• Unsupported Plugins: Software with minimal or no copy protection can be installed directly on Receptor
by dragging the plugin’s .dll file into Receptor’s “unsupported Plugins” folder.
Now, Direct Install provides a fourth method of plugin installation: You simply launch the Direct Install
window from Receptor Remote Control and use the actual installer that came with your software package.
Direct Install will install plugins downloaded from the internet or from the CD/DVD drive in your Mac or PC.
It installs the software on a Receptor over a network connection, just as if you were installing it on your desktop
machine.
