    Hi all,

    Is there a way to have legit plugin alliance plugins working alongside cracked ones (R2R)??

    They only use one single licence file so whenever I activate my legit ones, R2R gets deactivated and the other way around, because obviously the content of each licence file is different.

    I've been fiddling with it for some time now but cannot find any way to make this work. any help would be appreciated.

    thanks in advance for your input :)

    needs an USB-drive which has to be marked as a license holder in the plugin preferences in this case u will have two license files

    but I only heard this somewhere as rumour :)

    You need to authorize your legit plugins on a usb stick or usb hard drive and your kr4k3d plugins on your C drive.Or vice versa.

    Hi ,
    I encountered the same problem, creating a USB key for your official PA licenses,
    and for the other PA plugins put the licenses on the HDD C: ...
    It works wonderfully !!!!! :):) :wink: :):)
    Good luck

    can you explain in a bit more detail what you mean by that? I tried to copy the licence file to a different disk already (and usb stick) as well but the same happened.
    do you mean that I should generate a licence file for this particular drive? like a "new machine ID". thanks

    Is this also true for other plugins bought at plugin alliance, or this is only for Brainworx plugins?

    Simple. Register your legit plugins to a usb stick and non legit to your computer HDD. Works. If you get a conflict just re-register one PA plugin and it should work for all non legit plugins.

    I would like to do the opposite.
    Leave my legit licence on my system disk (i already do my validation like this)
    and place the license of others plugins on an external disk
    When I try to generate a license with the keygen, the external disk does not appear ?
    I'm on mac

    As R2R advised in their latest release: "Move your legit license to an external storage".

    My legit license is on USB stick and they all work side by side :wink:

    Should work for any PA plugin. I have legit Brainworx, Plugin Alliance and Acme ones. They all work fine with license placed on USB stick with R2R releases license on system drive.

    yes but that's not enough, you need to generate a licence using that USB stick as a machine ID...which is what I hadn't done in the beginning

    the
    the ID is generated by the plugin itself, you get it from the prompt asking you to activate when you open the plugin in your DAW. R2R keygen is just using that ID, it doesn't see any as such...

    That dropdown menu appears during the registration process inside the Plugin, not when
    generating the License!

    1. Have a USB drive inserted in your Computer
    2. Create offline license for the plugin(s) of your choise.
    3. When the PA plugin registration dialog pops up DO NOT select "register all my plugins"
    4. open your totally legit offline License
    5. select your USB drive as storage medium for the license.
    6. Be Happy

    Is there anyway to emulate a USB stick? I tried creating a disk image (Mac) that I could mount and eject when needed, but PA recognizes usb sticks differently than regular disk images like HDDs.

    Thank you for the clear explanation. I wish I asked you before :bow:
    I can finally use the PluginAlliance legit together with non so legit plugins.
