The My Account Menu Options

At the bottom left of the HX Edit application window, you'll see the My Account menu

and account status indicator. Initially, before you've signed in to your Line 6 online ac-

count and/or authorized your computer for Marketplace premium assets, you'll see this

menu displayed with the My Account label.

The My Account menu (not signed in or authorized)

Clicking on the My Account menu displays options for accessing the Preferences window

(see page 32), signing in & managing your Line 6 account, as well as for access to the

Marketplace online shop.*

*NOTE: It is not required that your computer have an active Internet connection, nor

do you need to be signed in or authorized at all for the HX Edit app itself to be func-

tional. But signing in is necessary to authorize (or deauthorize) your computer to allow

the import and export of premium assets purchased from the online Marketplace.

If you don't plan to use Marketplace premium assets, you don't have to worry

about signing in and out with HX Edit, and you can simply ignore the following

If you are not currently signed in, choose Sign In from the menu and enter your Line 6

account user name and password in the Sign In window. If you have forgotten your sign

in credentials, or have not already created a Line 6 account, choose the Forgot my pass-

word/username or Create a Line 6 account option within the window. If you are already

signed in and wish to sign out, choose the Sign Out option from the menu.

TIP: If you plan on purchasing premium Marketplace assets, it is easiest to simply

remain actively signed in, with your computer in the authorized state. This allows the

licenses for your purchased assets to automatically be “synced” from your Line 6 ac-

count, and for the assets able to be utilized for all actions within the HX Edit app.

Computer Authorization Status Indicator

Once you've signed in, your computer is automatically authorized, as conrmed by a pop

up window letting you know the sign in and authorization were successful. You'll see the

My Account menu label display your rst name (derived from your Line 6 account) and in-

dicate the status of your account sign in and computer authorization (more details about

authorization in the following section).

Whenever signed out, the menu button displays the “My Account” label, with no colored

authorization indicator.

Once you've authorized your computer, you can optionally sign out, and your computer

remains in the authorized state, allowing you to continue to perform import, export, copy

and backup actions with your Marketplace assets, even if your Internet connection is not

currently active.
