    During the jump from Nexus v2 to NEXUS3, reFX decided to drop use of the Steinberg eLicenser dongle. Now the reFX Cloud App is used to install and manage NEXUS3 and it's content. With no dongle required and the plugin just needs to be connected online every 30 days. My question is what DRM is used for this? Is it still an implementation of Synchrosoft/ MCFACT Crypto? Like Cubase?

    This is unrelated to my other thread.

    @ArticStorm R2R said in their latest NFOs that they have beat crypto used in iLok. Do you think the crypto used in NEXUS3 is even stronger?

    I have no idea how iLok was beaten, the question is really which crypto the DRM uses and if its stronger, it could be ...

    Wonderful. Another day, another pointless thread on Nexus 3 translated "If I keep mentioning it, maybe R2R will crack it just to shut me up".

    Can't wait for tomorrow's new thread.

    MAGIX are gradually shifting all of their applications to a similar principle. Unless their server is hacked or a fake private/public encrypted key exchange is not only done but also accepted by their cloud and network, it is more secure for them against piracy.
    There's more to it, but that's a simple explanation - security.

    P.S. There is another way which is someone incredibly clever manages to work out exactly how their online authorization is working and writes a secondary authorization application so it can run in standalone mode, telling the application to point to the new secondary authorization and never go online - meaning reverse engineering the actual application itself. Good luck with that.

    I like the quote I saw on Gearslutz:
    "Omnisphere is my wife. Diva is my mistress. NEXUS is an expensive hooker whom I've seen around town." -jster

    I would like to remind others that with Nexus there is a far greater chance of catching a VSTD.
    That thang is worn out anyway.

    It has some kind of self made protection.

    I guess they spent a while working on it... it took them 3 years from last Nexus 2 update (nov 2016) to Nexus 3.0.0 (nov 2019).

    And it's not like it has many changes, besides the new GUI and more editable parts.

    You can crack Nexus 3 pretty easy BUT there is currently no way to unlock the libraries, which means you have an empty useless GUI. Nexus presets will be synced via ReFX Cloud there is no import button to add them manually. I'm not sure if there's a way to bypass it, at least not without buying the expansions one by one with the same account.

    Besides that, it's just a presets library, nothing to be too excited about. You can easily recreate/find every synth/bass etc. preset in Serum and for instruments you can use Kontakt.
    Nothing special :)

    I'm sure R2R got their reasons for not cracking/releasing plugins like Nexus, Rapid, Viper, Falcon and even plugins from Sonnox and Plugin Alliance (which should be no problem now that iLok and some difficult protections has been defeated).

    As an example: Reason and Avenger has already been cracked (according to their NFO), but it's kept internal. One of the reasons is they want all expansions/extensions before releasing it. But how do we know which ones they need? I'm sure they could get it within a day if they wanted, so there must be other reasons. Conspiracists will say they get paid by the companies.

    And just to clarify: I'm not requesting/complaining at all. We already got more than enough from R2R, and I already got most of above mentioned plugins (including Nexus and Avenger :bleh:), so I'm good. It's just interesting to follow the scene.
