    Hi Audiosexers :mates:

    My near friend in Germany just bought FF Pro-Q 2 EDU - (in fact just a regular installer) + (I need OS X + AAX64). He tells me that it just comes with a large s/n for opening and nothing else, and furthermore he officially is allowed to have different copies on diff. machines, as long as it´s his own machines only.

    I asked him to send me a copy of the s/n, because i believe that if I block FF in my firewall, my machine won´t reveal it.

    BUT he´s concerned if FF may be called something else in its protection system, so that it´s still not blocked and we´ll get "busted" :unsure:

    None of us knows much about these issues, so I told him that I would check out with the good guys here on AudioSex :beg:

    So please tell us, - should we be safe just by firewalling FF out, if we share his s/n?

    Thanks for replying, but we both use Pro Tools 11 on Mac, so it has to be OS X and AAX64 :unsure:

    why not install the trail and get his serial? if your computer i not connected the internet, then you can use his license.
    but why not use the last blessed version? it was blessed for MAC and Windows.

    in case of mac you can use littlesnitch to block internet access. i do this since years with my blessed uhe stuff.

    FabFilter is using license keys!
    "Can I use my FabFilter plug-ins on multiple computers using just one license key?"
    FabFilter license keys are personal and contain your name.

    I think blocking the FF from calling home should be enough!
    :excl: OR if you have some experience with HEX-Editors just take the AAX Plug-In,
    extract its resources > MacOS > Binary file and look for all www or http addresses
    and patch/overwrite them with number 20 = empty space.
    The Plug-In will never attempt to call home again!
    :wink:
