Riffworks Activation Process

If you're seeing the word demo anywhere or can't save your session, chances are that you haven't purchased and activated a RiffWorks 2 Line 6 Edition license from: http://line6.com/riffworks/.

By activating with Line 6 Monkey, the program "unlocks" and you can save and mix your songs down to wave/ogg. The full activation instructions are below so that you can see both the Line 6 part of the process and the optional Sonoma Wire Works part of the process.

If you complete the Sonoma WireWorks part of the process, you're given access to Sonoma's online RiffCast/RiffWorld and RiffLink collaboration features.

You're also given two extra InstantDrummers, Bare Bones and Matt Sorum Basic, which you can download from your account at Sonoma's Online Store: https://www.sonomawireworks.com/store/index.php?main_page=account_software_downloads.

Here are the complete activation instructions:

Part 1: Line 6 Activation

1. Click on Start/All Programs/Line6/Tools/Line 6 Monkey

2. After launching Line 6 Monkey, click on the "Updates" tab

3. There will be a warning symbol next to any item that needs updating. Make sure you update all marked items.

4. To activate RiffWorks 2, click the "Optional/Add-Ons" tab, click RiffWorks and type in your key when prompted. (If you don't have your key handy, go to: http://www.line6.com and sign in using your Line 6 login information. Once logged in, click on “My Account” and then choose the “License Keys” link on the left. Use this key in the Monkey to activate RiffWorks 2 using the steps above.

Part 2: Sonoma WireWorks Activation

1. Open Riffworks 2

2. Click the Riffcast button

3. Type in your Sonomakey login name and password. If you do not yet have a Sonomakey login name and password, you'll need to create a new one one clicking the “Register” button found on the same window. After creating a name, please return to the login prompt and enter your newly created login information.

If you've forgotten your Sonomakey login information, you can have it emailed to you using the password retrieval form at: https://www.sonomawireworks.com/store/index.php?main_page=password_forgotten

Riffworks InstantDrummers Activation Process

The InstantDrummers themselves don't run in demo mode, though the program itself will be in demo mode until you've used the Line 6 Monkey to activate the application using the purchased license key. The InstantDrummers will function regardless of whether or not RiffWorks 2 is activated, unless they are the add-on InstantDrummers you can purchase from the Sonoma Wireworks online store. Those are tied to your SonomaKey username and do require the program is activated in order to work.

When you run the Online Installer for RiffWorks 2 Line 6 Edition, you'll get the Demo Session for the InstantDrummer. If you have purchased a License Key for RiffWorks 2 Line 6 Edition, you can then download and run the RiffWorks 2 Line 6 Edition Instant Drummers installer to get six more InstantDrummer Sessions that are included with your license purchase: http://line6.com/software/index.html.

Riffworks Activation Process FAQ

Q: I bought a RiffTracker pack- Why does RiffTracker ask me for an activation code?

• The GuitarPort/RiffTracker combo pack does not need to be activated, it comes preset with access to the software.  Please make sure you were given the RiffTracker package, and not just the GuitarPort with a RiffTracker demo (the price is roughly double for the RiffTracker combo- $199 USD for RiffTracker and $99 USD for just GuitarPort).
• If you think you were given the wrong package and have paid for RiffTracker, please return it to your dealer for exchange.  If you purchased only GuitarPort and would like to also purchase RiffTracker, please feel free to purchase it at the www.line6.com online store.
• If you have purchased the correct pack, please try typing 'refresh' in the activation code text box.

Q: I recently purchased a Line6 Guitar Port which came with RiffWorks too. How do I activate the recording and saving part? It asks me to insert a license key, but the product didn't come with one, how do I get one?

• Does your GuitarPort unit say RiffTracker on it?
• Did your Guitarport come in a green box?

Download Line 6 Monkey and do a Refresh:

• Click on the Optional/Add-Ons tab.
• Click on GuitarPort/Riffworks
• Click on "Activate Purchase"
• Then type in the word "refresh" (no " marks)

If your unit does not say RiffTracker on it and if it came in a red box, you will have to purchase the license key at the Line 6 Store.
