So switch Logic to 32bit, validate plugin (most cases just run Logic - it should scan new plugs, if not he must run AU manager from Login main menu, select it and rescan) and then switch back to 64bit.

You do not need to install it if you are using a 32bits AU host, such as Ableton Live, Digitial Performer, GarageBand, Logic 9 in 32bit mode / Logic 8 or earlier.
