-<-^|^->+====== Included Plugins ====== 
 + 
 +exrTrader is actually a suite of plugins for LightWave 3D. Currently it consists of the following  plugins (these are the plugin names as displayed in the Edit Plug-ins window by LightWave): 
 + 
 +  * exrTrader – OpenEXR Layered Export 
 +  * OpenEXR Settings 
 +  * exrTraderLoader 
 +  * OpenEXR(.exr) 
 +  * OpenEXR Dummy(.exr) 
 +  * exrTrader... 
 +  * OpenEXR Settings... 
 +  * exrTrader Helper (Pixel Filter, only used by exrTrader Pro) 
 +  
 +To be able to use the exrTrader Layered Export you will need to register and activate it with the activation code we will send you after your purchase of a license. 
 + 
 +The basic loaders and savers are fully functional without registering. 
 + 
 +The last two plugins are convenience tools you can assign to a shortcut, or add to a menu, to quickly apply the respective plugins to the current scene (if they aren't applied already) and open their user interface. 
 + 
 +====== Registration ====== 
 +Once you've installed the plugin, apply the exrTrader – OpenEXR Layered Export image filter plugin to your scene, and the registration window will automatically open. 
 + 
 +Enter your full name, company name (if applicable) and e-mail address. Export the registration and attach it to an e-mail to [[registration@exrtrader.com]]. We will mail you an activation code within 24 hours after payment is received, depending on the time difference (( Our key generator needs some sleep every now and then ;-) )). 
 + 
 +You can now either import the keyfile attached to the activation e-mail, or copy and paste the activation key into the registration panel (please make sure that the personal information is identical to the one submitted to us for the registration). 
 + 
 +Your registration is now complete and you will see the interface of exrTrader, allowing you to use it. 
 + 
 +The registration file is stored in the same folder where LightWave 3D is installed (( Please back up your license file if you install a new version of LightWave into the same directory, especially on MacOS. )), the license file is named exrTrader.key. If you use multiple licenses of LightWave 3D from a single network share, the registration manager will only append/edit licenses locked to the dongle installed on the host machine. It will however manage multiple licenses allowing for a single registration file on your network share.
