Stand-alone License¶
Before proceeding with the installations, there are 2 mandatory steps:
You created a User Account
You bought a license (or you have been granted one by your school, if you are a student)
Step 1: Download the Praxinos Launcher¶
Connect to your User Account and go to “Your Downloads”, in the tab “Software”. Click on the link to install the Praxinos Launcher.
Step 2: Install the Praxinos Launcher¶
Install the Praxinos Launcher. At the moment, the application is not authenticated yet by Microsoft, so Windows might block the installation process. In this situation, please click on “More info”, then “Run Anyway”.
The installation will start. Do not forget to activate the third-party software “Codemeter”, or the Launcher won’t install.
Step 3: Download Odyssey¶
Click to download Odyssey. Once the green bar in the Odyssey field is full, the installation will start.

Again, since the application is not authenticated yet by Microsoft, it might be blocked by Windows. If you’ve got this message, click on “More info”, then “Run Anyway”. (just like the Praxinos Launcher).
Sometimes, the installation may even be placed in quarantine by Windows:
In this situation, go to “Virus & Threat protection” in Windows Parameters, then allow Odyssey to be installed.
The installation process will start. The whole package to download is about 12GB, so depending on your internet connection, it can take a moment. Make sure your internet connection is stable, as there is no way to pause and resume the download at the moment.
Step 4: Activate Odyssey¶
Once Odyssey is installed, go back to the User Account and copy the license key in the category “Your downloads”, tab “Licenses”.
Then, go to the Praxinos Launcher, into the tab “Licenses” and paste your ticket number here:
Click on “Check”, then on “Activate”.
Your license is rehostable, so if you need to install Odyssey on another seat, you will have to Deactivate first from the old seat.
If you do not activate your license, Odyssey will run as a demo for 30 days.
Step 5: Run Odyssey¶
Once the activation is complete, you can launch Odyssey, either from the Launcher or from your Desktop. Don’t forget to open the Launcher at least once every month. If you get a message telling you your license has almost expired, it means you must either start the Launcher… or extend your subscription. In that situation, please contact us.
