Before 2022, buying a PA plugin meant downloading a standalone .exe or .pkg file for every single product. If you owned 50 plugins, you had 50 uninstallers. The current PA Installer consolidates everything. You log in once, and your entire vault of licenses appears. The ability to filter by "Installed," "Not Installed," or by developer (e.g., Unfiltered Audio, Lindell) is genuinely time-saving.
For years, the Plugin Alliance Installation Manager (commonly referred to as the PA Installer) has been the central hub for managing your PA ecosystem.
