Note that you will need an Internet connection to be able to sign in again to access the
Deauthorize and Authorize options from the menu, as well as to initially synchronize with
your online Line 6 account after making any new Marketplace purchase (see “License Syn-
chronization”).
Authorize / Deauthorize Your Computer
It is necessary for your computer to be in the authorized state for performing any HX
Edit Import, Export, Copy/Paste or Backup/Restore action that includes your pur-
chased Marketplace premium IRs or presets (as well as setlists or bundles that include
them). Simply signing in to your Line 6 account will authorize your computer automati-
cally.*
*NOTE: It is permitted to authorize a maximum of 4 of your computers concur-
rently. If you've already authorized 4 computers, you can deauthorize one com-
puter to free up one of your authorizations.
Deauthorizing You Computer
While signed in to your Line 6 account, choose the Deauthorize Computer command
from the My Account menu and the brief online deauthorization process completes au-
tomatically. You'll see a conrmation dialog appear and the Authorization Status Indica-
tor for the My Account menu will change to red to indicate your deauthorized state (see
preceding section). Additionally, deauthorizing your computer will also automatically
sign you out of your Line 6 account.
When deauthorized, the HX Edit application still functions to provide all preset & IR
librarian and signal ow editing tasks, however, Marketplace-purchased assets are not
able to be imported or exported with the HX Edit app. You can choose Authorize Com-
puter from the menu to authorize the computer again at any time, providing you have
not exceeded the 4 computer authorization limit.
Helix Native Plug-in Owners: This authorization/deauthorization within HX Edit
globally authorizes/deauthorizes your computer for the use of the Helix Native
plug-in (and the use of Marketplace assets within it) as well, assuming your Helix
Native license and Marketplace purchases were performed using your same Line 6
user account. Please also see the Helix Native Plug-in Pilot's Guide.
License Synchronization
Whenever you make a purchase from Marketplace, a license for each product you
purchase is deposited into your online Line 6 account. For the HX Edit application to
access your new licenses and eectively “unlock” your purchased assets, it needs to
perform a “sync” process with your Line 6 account. You must have an active Internet
connection and be signed in within HX Edit on your next use of the app after your
purchase for this license synchronization to occur.
When you're signed in, this brief sync takes place automatically in HX Edit the next time
you launch the application, or if already running, when you next click on the HX Edit
app window. (Note that it may take up to 5 minutes before a sync occurs if HX Edit was
already running.) Once the license sync has completed, an active Internet connection is
not required for the use of these Marketplace purchased assets within HX Edit or within
your Helix hardware.
Manage Account
Choose this menu option to be taken to the Line6.com My Account page, where you
can view and update your Line 6 user account - view and manage add-ons and Mar-
ketplace purchases, register Line 6 gear, update your personal information, and more.
