Each license key allows you to install the plug-in on two computers with unique system IDs or on one computer and an iLok dongle. If using a computer based activation, the same license can be used by multiple users, but each user has to individually unlock the full version of the plug-in under her/his account. I installed a new VST last night and then started up LIVE 7. It errored out while loading the new VST. I shut LIVE down and re-started it. It then gave me the message that it was deactivating the new VST. How do you re-activate it? I tried un-installing and re-installing and rescaning VST folder - none of those things worked.

I see many people, some even well versed in Studio One, using the Activate button for plug-ins all the time, when many times they would be better off using the Bypass button. Some of them may not be aware that there is a Bypass button at all, or think it does the same as the Activate button – but there is a difference between the two, which I’ll explain in this article, and you’ll see when to best use which.
You can find the Activate and Bypass buttons on the top left of every plug-in window, next to each other.
The Activate button is a typical on/off switch. If you deactivate a plug-in with this button, it gets removed from the signal path entirely, and it no longer uses any CPU resources. Any latency the plug-in might have been causing also gets removed. It stays loaded in the RAM, however, to enable faster reactivation with the same settings. If you are unsure if you like or want to use a particular plug-in on a track, and for that reason don’t want to remove it completely, then the (De-)Activate button is the right button to use for turning it off.
The Bypass button on the other hand merely removes the plug-in’s effect from the audio path – it bypasses its processing. Its CPU and RAM usage, as well as the latency it might cause, all remain.
Now why is this important, and when does it come into play?
The typical scenario when you can benefit of using the Bypass button instead of the Activate button is when you want to audition a plug-in’s effect on a track during playback.

I guess you are all familiar with the typical clicks and pops that can occur when you “bypass” plug-ins during playback, right? That happens only, at least in Studio One, when you use the Activate button instead of the Bypass button for this purpose. I don’t know how you feel about it, but for me these clicks are very annoying and distracting when I need to concentrate on the sound.
These clicks appear because the latency of the plug-in gets removed when you turn it off (instead of bypassing it), so you basically get a short audio drop out while Studio One is readjusting the overall latency of the system. The same happens when you turn the plug-in on again (and off again, and on again, and off again,…).

You can easily prevent this from happening by using the Bypass button instead.
The Bypass button enables click-free A/B’ing of a plug-in’s effect on the sound. (Note that not all plug-ins introduce latency – thus you will not always get clicks when using the Activate button during playback.)
Another important difference between the two buttons is that only the Bypass button is automatable – for the very reasons outlined above.

The Activate button on the top left of a plug-in window corresponds to the small blue On/Off switch you have on every insert slot in the Console or the Inspector. The Bypass button, unfortunately, has no equivalent counterpart in the insert slots. You can only access it by opening the plug-in window, by right clicking on the insert slot, or clicking on the small down arrow that appears when you mouse over it.

It is a long-standing feature request by many users (me included) to have a dedicated button (and/or command) for bypassing plug-ins more easily directly from the Console. Hopefully PreSonus will answer our prayers in one of the future updates soon. And, while you’re at it, dear Studio One developers, please consider adding a possibility to bypass all plug-ins at once, too. Many thanks in advance :o)
