🔧 Complete Access Hub Installation

Step 1:
Download Complete Access Hub from:
https://app.completeaccess.audio/installers

Step 2:
Ensure Cubase is fully closed before running the installer. Once the download is complete, unzip and launch the installer from your Downloads folder.

Step 3:
Install plugins based on your license type:

• Perpetual: Only install plugins you've purchased. If you install a plugin you don’t have a license for, Cubase will prompt you for activation at launch.
• Complete Access: Click “Install All” to install everything included in your subscription.

💡 For any Virtual Mix Rack bundle, the full plugin will install. Any unlicensed modules will simply appear at the bottom of the module list and remain inactive.

Step 4:
After installation, launch Cubase.
