VStor operates a discount-first sourcing model built on three distinct channels. This is how we keep prices significantly below standard retail without compromising on legitimacy.
Promotions & Outlet
Time-limited developer promotions, end-of-line outlet pricing, and clearance deals from authorised distributors.
Refurbished Licenses
Legally resold and re-issued software licenses from studios, producers, and businesses that no longer need them.
Modified Builds
Pre-configured or pre-activated versions that have been legally modified for direct deployment — ready to install.
This model means the software you receive is functionally identical to what you would get from an official retailer — same installer, same features, same DAW compatibility. The difference is the price and the path it took to get to you.
After your payment is confirmed, you will receive an email within minutes containing your order details. Depending on the product, your delivery will include one or more of the following:
A direct download link to the software installer (.exe, .pkg, or .zip). The file is the same installer used by the official developer.
A serial number or activation code to unlock the full version of the software inside your DAW or the developer’s licence manager.
Some products are delivered as a clean, already-activated build — install it and it works immediately, no serial entry required. Where this applies, it is stated on the product page.
Step-by-step instructions for your specific product — including which licence manager to use (iLok, Native Access, Pace, etc.) and how to complete activation.
Understanding your license is important. Here is what applies to products purchased through VStor:
Varies by developer. Most licenses cover 1–2 machines simultaneously. Where a specific install limit applies, it is stated on the product page.
Licenses purchased at VStor are for personal use by the buyer. They are not transferable to a third party unless the developer’s terms explicitly allow it.
Minor updates (bug fixes, patch releases) are typically included. Major version upgrades (e.g. v2 → v3) are not included and must be purchased separately from the developer.
Activation follows the developer’s standard process — iLok, challenge-response, online activation, or offline. Our team supports all methods during installation.
Every purchase at VStor includes our Free Installing Service at no extra cost. This is a hands-on support service — not a help article — where a real person from our team walks you through installation and activation from start to finish.
Full installation of the downloaded file, activation or serial entry, DAW plugin path configuration, and a final check to confirm the plugin loads correctly in your session.
After purchase, open a support ticket via our Contact page. Include your order number and the name of the product. We triage all requests within 12 hours.
Support is delivered via email step-by-step walkthrough, or a remote desktop session where you share your screen with our technician for direct hands-on help.
We stand behind every product we sell. If something does not work and our team cannot resolve it, you are entitled to a full refund — no runaround, no restocking fees.
Contact us via our Contact page within 3 days of purchase. Include your order number and a brief description of the issue.
In most cases, our team can fix the issue within 24 hours. We will always try to get the product working before processing a refund.
If we cannot resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe, a full refund is issued to your original payment method. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days.
