    Hi guys. Maybe this is a stupid question. Which one you consider more valuable expansions pack for Avenger or updates for Avenger plugin? Thanks

    If the Plugin works well i would go with Expansions. If not Updates.

    By the Way there are no stupid questions only stupid answers :winker:

    Avenger is not a good example to apply your answer to. The difference between versions of Avenger matter more than most examples because of changes in the protection. It can change which content you can get. After v1.5 it is Codemeter. Final answer: Neither. :)

    Thanks guys for replying. I asked this question because something happened to me last night with Avenger and Vengeance activation software. The activation software Updated my Avenger plugin automatically to the last update and f..cked the use of the expansions from the sister site.

    Right, so your question becomes should you roll back to 1.4. or not. Do you plan on paying for new expansions to use with this newer version?
    And letting Codemeter be a new addition to your computer. "oh, hell no" becomes the logical answer. I think. Invest some time in your firewall ruleset and going through menus to check that things are not auto-downloading and updating.

    Hi Clone. I installed everything back to 1.4 and deleted all vengeance plugins and software. Thanks for the hints.

    Do you mean existing updates, or the supposed to be coming ones?
    Existing updates not much compared to the last cracked version (legit user here)
    Extentions, I would go for the ones that make extensive use of the granular engine / oscillator as it's quiete powerful and not easy to learn. But it all depends of the genres your interested, and how much skill you have at synthesis.

    Thanks Olymoon for replying. I bought Avenger long time ago, but I'm using 1.4 because of the expansions from sister site. The genres I'm interested is Reggaeton/Dembow and EDM.
