The Studio Edition of the Slack plugin is now licensed using Keyforge. You should have received one in your email upon subscription purchase.
The Slack Studio Edition plugin will consistently make a new validation check to ensure your license is valid.

It will not check for a non-gui process so it can be used on renderfarms and the console.

​
Activation

When you have put Slack in your set of plugins, it will show up as unlicensed. A popup will appear asking you to enter your license key and your email that you used to purchase the subscription. These are important for two things. The License makes it so you can use the product, and the email is used to make it easier to manage your licenses.

​
License Key Environment Variable

If you don’t want to pass around the license key or you don’t have the Studio plugin enabled, you can set the PRISM_SLACK_STUDIO_LICENSE_KEY environment variable to your license key and it will automatically validate your license on startup.

​
Management

You can manage your licenses at Keyforge by pressing the
  1. License Management button on the sidebar here in the documentation
  2. Pressing the Slack option in the Project Browser on the top menu and selecting Manage License(s)
  3. Pressing the Manage License(s) button in the Slack Prism Settings window under Studio or Project
