Downloads

NEW for those who have used this site to purchase v6/7 licenses: When you sign into your account, it now scours your ilok user id and provides you with temporary links to access your downloads without contacting us directly. This only works for accounts with one ILOK user id and who have a v6 or v7 license. Everyone else has to contact support as noted below

Downloads(including additional items) are kept in the Help>Release Info/download menu of your desktop application. You can download and freely copy the items if intending to work on a different computer. If you cannot obtain a download from an installed version, contact support with your ilok user id.

Those looking for trials and have an Ilok user id, can visit our TRIAL page for more information.

V7 is here....

See the front banner for information. Any new(not upgrade) purchase made from April 1, 2026 onward is eligible for a free upgrade to V7. Contact sales@soundminer.com with your ilok user id or Sales Order number from the site.

What are the differences between versions? - Starting with Basic $199(base search engine, tabs, monitor plugin, spot to Pro tools, limited metadata management), Plus $399 (adds Similarity engine, full metadata editing, project playlist management, RadFX, Xray and Inline waveforms, full UCS support, and the new Radium Mini), Pro $899 (adds Similarity Engine Galaxy addition, full compliment of DSP controls and plugin support, Full Radium Sound Design Sampler w/ AAX plugin, extended metadata control, Multichannel controls, Downmixer, Server connectivity). In addition, user can pair V6 Plus with a ProPack module add-on if they do not need the Server connectivity for $699.Prices are for single platform. Dual platform(Universal license) add $100.

Upgrading questions: How do I know what license I have? If on ilok, simply look at your ilok license. If you have a bundle and the bundle is named ‘V6Pro’, you have a PRO license and you go here. If you have two separate licenses of Plus and ProPack or a bundle of Plus/ProPack, then you upgrade from the V6Plus 'existing users with ProPack' upgrade option.
