   Copy the .clap file to one of these folders:

   Per-user:
   C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\CLAP\

   System-wide:
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\

3. Launch your DAW.

4. Run a plugin rescan if Harshmallow does not appear automatically.

NOTES
-----
  * Administrator rights may be required when copying to Program Files.
  * If your DAW supports both VST3 and CLAP, install whichever format you prefer.
  * Installing both formats is also fine if you want both available.

ACTIVATION / DEMO

    60 seconds).
  * To activate a purchased license, open the plugin and use the license
    badge in the header.
  * Activation is local. No internet connection is required to activate or use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
If Harshmallow does not appear in your DAW:

  * Confirm the file was copied to the correct folder.
  * Confirm you installed the correct architecture for your system.
  * Run a manual plugin rescan in your DAW.
  * Restart the DAW after installation.
  * If needed, restart Windows after copying the files.
