Quick guide: install PreSonus Sphere Manager on Windows for Team R2R

Notes on assumptions: you want steps to install the official PreSonus Sphere Manager app (Windows) for a team/roster setup named “Team R2R.” I assume you have Windows 10/11, admin rights, and a valid Sphere account. Adjust paths/usernames as needed.

System Requirements

• OS: Windows 10 / 11 (64‑bit)
• Pre‑installed: PreSonus Studio One Professional (any recent version that supports Sphere features)
• Disk Space: ~50 MB for the manager tool
• Internet: Required only for the initial extraction/installation; the tool itself works offline

• Your computer’s security
• Your legal standing
• The value of your creative work (projects may become unopenable)
