3. Once you have logged in or created an account, you will be asked to enter your purchase code. This is the code from your my.presonus.com account in step 1 of this article. We reference them as "Serial Numbers" in my.presonus.com.

7. One of the screens during the installation process will list all of the different versions of the plug-in. Select what you would like to install and click "Next."
8. You will then see the screen below asking where you wish to install the program. It is recommend to keep the default location. Remember, this is the program itself and not the VST plug-in.
9. The screen below illustrates where the VST2 plug-in will be installed. Keep the default location if you are going to be using it in Studio One 4 Artist.
10. Once you have installed the plug-in, you can drag it into a track from the "Effects" tab in the Studio One Browser, which will launch the plug-in. Sign in with your Cherry credentials the first time that you use it, and you will see a quick download happen at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. After the download is complete, you are ready to start using your plug-in.
