    no i hate dongles strictly, but being online 100% would suck more, also since idk internet @home, soo

    it would still be better how u/he has solved it, badass protection, while being totally easy to handle for the legit user.

    Now i know what we are not suppose to talk about. So im not gonna talk about them doing it.
    But if they'd do what we know but are not gonna say.
    I'd be ever greatful.
    Slate is my guilty sin.. I pay that 15 since Christmas. Patiently waiting for
    (WHAT WE DARE NOT SPEAK OF) to happen or for black friday to roll back around..
    Idk what they do over there but that VMR has a very nice sound.

    No doubt. i LOVE my PA Subscription. i was absolutely giddy when I heard they were starting it on my Birthday..

    Slate though.. He is a lot of gas. He him self is a walking advert. But there is SOMETHING about his VMR that is just amazing
    To my ears.. He has the best 1073 plugin period.
    Not including UAD..yea yeah they are cool,yup.

    His Drums Blah, His Reverbs generic. But that gat damn VMR has me by the round ones lol


    Little ashamed rite now but Ill let ya'll have a laugh too.
    i just found out about bx N Console.. I've had it sitting in there for ever never knew.

    SO as of now slate 73 got me. but I have hopes for this bx !

    From iLok Shit Dongle to ILok Shit Cloud, what for achievement!
    iLok are the biggest scammer ever, products like "ZeroDownTime" are being created just for rip-off purpose.
    Any kind of Software protected with iLok are for me just a piece of shit!

    $2.5 per month for ZeroDownTime is hardly a rip-off. I don't have it, but for mobile users it's a good thing.
    I got iLok free from Slate so I love it. EastWest Orchestra is still up there with the best libraries there is.

    You're paying cash to ensure that some arbitrary and unneccessary and irrelevant piece of software will be "fixed" moar quickly when it inevitably bugs out / screws up / crashes. Something that was forced on you by the dev and is not any part of the synth / fx / DAW. Why can't we pay moar for this bargain!?

    I really want to try their subscription pack.
    I went to purchase a couple days ago though and seen how many instruments were in it and got immediately intimidated lol

    iLok is normally fine, bugs and crashes are very very rare. I've never had a single software issue with it.

    You are paying for loss/theft, as this is the biggest threat to mobile producers/composers. So $2.5 to be back up and running whilst you are still on the train travelling is not a big issue to working musicians.

    If you are in the house, there's no need. AKA free

    Yeah it's big. EW Hollywood Orchestra is still amazing to today's standards and Spaces 2 is one the the best Reverbs.
    There's a lot of crap in there too! The main issue is the patches, it can be very confusing as you have numerous articulations with weird naming conventions.
    Depends what you are after, if it's Orchestra and Voices, they have sales more times than people post in the Avenger sub thread!

    What is ZeroDownTime? I tried googling but their website doesn't seem to describe anything related to ilok.

    Guys that hate "protections" may be never has used legal Windows 10, that run solid like OS X... Plugins are the same, all legit ones run 99% flawlessly.

    Pirated Windows 10 (Medicine - Digital Licence) on my machine runs without any problem, but original windows 10 in my workplace had issues. When R2R cracks the software, they make them work better, 90% of times. We have seen releases in past when R2R fixed some bugs which were not fixed by developers. Your statement is totally wrong.

    Dongles suck. That's what I think.

    I have UVI Falcon protected by iLok soft and it always works when I need it.Same for Soundtoys.
    Plugins developpers use iLok because it's not easily crackable or falsifiable.
    So when you want to reset an activation you must send a message to the plugin company's support.Only them can reset your licences (or trial activations,but of course they won't do that).
