Line 6 GearBox 3.7 – Start Here
1•3
The destination computer has an Internet connection
This is the easiest scenario: Download and install the GearBox application (always available at line6.
com/software). This will also install the necessary drivers for your hardware and the Line 6 Monkey
application.
GearBox Plug-in doesn’t work!!! Where are my Model Packs??? Relax – Your Add-Ons (Model
Packs, Plug-in, etc…) are tied-in to your hardware’s, built-in Electronic Serial Number (ESN), but also
need to be authorized with each new computer you’ll be using GearBox on. In other words, they work
but just haven’t been enabled on the new computer yet.
Launch Line 6 Monkey. The Monkey utility will connect to the server and scan your hardware for any
activated Add-ons, and if it finds any, will display the following message in red text:
Just click Authorize, and Monkey will enable the use of your activated Add-On(s) on the new
computer system.
The destination computer lacks an Internet connection
So you just got the call from Mr. Big Time Producer for a session at so-and-so’s studio, and you want
to bring all this great Line 6 tone along for tracking – but their computer does not connect to the
Internet. You can still move your GearBox activation to their recording environment by following
these steps:
Prerequisite - This may seem obvious but we’ll mention it anyway: Your hardware and all GearBox
software and Add-ons must already be activated and authorized on your own computer (meaning,
an Internet connection is required and has been used for the initial activation of your GearBox
assets).
