Signing in
One account, signed in through your browser, everywhere. There is no licence key to copy and nothing to type into After Effects.
| Where you sign in | What it does | How often |
|---|---|---|
| The panel | Links this machine's panel to your account | Once per computer |
| Your AI client | Authorises that client to reach Prism | Once per client |
| The dashboard | Billing, downloads, usage | Whenever you visit |
All three are the same account and the same browser sign-in.
Use the same email everywhere
A different email creates a separate account, so the panel ends up signed in to something with no plan attached to it.
What you will not be asked for
| A licence key | No Removed entirely. Nothing issues one |
| An API key | No Prism has none, on any plan |
| A device limit | No Install on as many machines as you like |
| A password typed into After Effects | No Sign-in happens in your browser |
If it does not work
| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Sign in does nothing | No default browser is set, or the window opened behind After Effects |
| The browser signs in but the panel stays signed out | The browser completed on a different account |
| It asks you to sign in again | The session expired. Same account, sign in again |
