Step 2: Install EarMaster
Double-click on the installer that you just downloaded from the EarMaster website, and follow the on-screen instructions. In most cases, you will be able to find the downloaded file in your Downloads folder. 

Once the software has been installed, you can launch it from your list of Applications (Windows) or via the App Launcher (Mac).

The first time you use EarMaster, it will run in free mode. But if you subscribed to one of our subscription plans or if you purchased a license for your computer, you can unlock the exercises that you have purchased access to. To do that, simply follow the instructions in your purchase confirmation or your subscription signup welcome email.

If you had to re-install your operative system several times or made changes to your computer's hardware, you might get that activation error message. But don't worry, it's easy to fix.

Please contact our support department and remember to tell us what serial number you have.
