    Installed the latest serum k'd by moria.No matter i connect to internet or not it keeps asking the serial.it keeps doing it once every 2 or 3 days. Tried reinstalling same issue.

    Is there a some file that i need to delete?

    I searched everything and deleted but after reinstallation it happened again.

    Blocked serum with hosts file.Not worked.

    Any help please?

    serum isnt proper cracked for mac, for windows it looks like it is.

    the solution might be to rent or buy it, since xfer did a good job on an easy, annoying protection for our side.

    Luckily i found a fix.Removed all files.

    Plugins (vst Au)
    Presets folder
    A folder started with com.serum in ~/library/
    Blocked with host and little snitch

    I think deleting that folder fixed issue.And now i was able to re enter old serial and it started working.

    Hope it will not crash again.

    Edit-Little snitch had a timebomb on bigsur.i had to remove it. I think 4.0.3 is the last version that worked fine but it's not supported on bigsur.Then i had to block daw with built in firewall.Still serum works fine.

    Again it asked for serial after a clean install?

    I didn't even connect to internet.
    Never had this issue with windows (this much).

    After few times loaded serum it worked fine.Then i reopened plugin in instrument track.Then it asked serial again?

    When will this get fixed? it's pretty much unusable.

    That’s exactly why I gave up using a keyed version . You can get it on splice for 9.99 a month and with the talks of version two coming out at some point it’s worth it as it will be a free update for existing owners .
