Neither physical iLok nor active internet connection are required to use Sonnox Plugins anymore.
The Sonnox team is delighted to announce that as of today, there will not be any need to have a physical iLok, or active internet connection, to use Sonnox Plugins.
(Please note that the Oxford Restore Bundle and Pro-Codec Plugins are coming soon).

Other changes that come into effect as of today.
1) Sonnox no longer charges a license re-registration fee for license transfers.
Please note that iLok does still charge a fee.

This change only applies to the additional fee that was previously applied by Sonnox.
2) Sonnox no longer charges fees for lost and stolen licenses for users without iLok's Zero Down Time or Theft Loss Coverage.

Best Regards,

The Sonnox Team

that's good, but iLok is going to tax you on your way out.

 

Victory at last, I was forever bombarding them with emails saying I wanted to buy Inflator, but I would never use it with an iLok internet connection! They deserve some credit for listening

Praise the God of Logic and Reason, Oxford is now sane and will reap the benefits of a healthy developer mind!

 

Did anybody else get a voucher for completing the survey? It was a bit pointless, as Inflator is already cheaper at Plugin Boutique.

https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/9-Limiter/492-Sonnox-Inflator-V3

 

$39°°.

 

Does this mean what i think it means?

 

Maybe 5 years from now

 

Reaper have at least 3 Inflators (free) that null to -inf dB with Sonnox.

 

Also MeldaProduction MWaveShaper

 

They randomly have sale prices on Sonnox at Sweetwater. Last time, Inflator was $19.99. Their prices are still high if you do not get a deal on them. Maybe they will go down some without the cost of iLok. Surely some people will see this as a sign they may become available cracked, but that doesn't mean anyone will actually end up with them.
