You're right. I'm quite angry. It may be that I forgot my blood pressure pill this morning

Great

lol why they dont put avenger to elicenser , why a new dongle system

 

Probably because there is NO need for dongle. Lol.

Imo there is a strong chance they'll go for elicenser protection for 2.0. It'll be a paid update, they'll consider it's a "new" synth so they'll make the jump then. The codemeter thing has been such a fiasco so far (ironicaly because of the way they implemented it), might as well go for dongle.
The only reason they didn't do it this time : it's because it's a free update on a synth that initialy had no dongle. It was a strong selling point when they launched it.They didn't want angry customers that had to buy a dongle for a free update.
Customers are angry anyway, so the dongle will come next.

Right now they have released v1.5.1. No idea with what changes.

 

My update was very easy. 1. Install CodeMeter 2. Activate Avenger (If you have expansions you can select all). Done!
Very easy.

 

I own both and I really like them a lot but I'm a very bad composer so...

 

Good news not to buy Avenger ever!!!!

Personally, I wouldn't use a dongle even if the soft came free. I don't mind iLok software licensing, but no dongle crap.

 

why?

 

the new Codemeter implementation is actuallllllly better then the previous protection since you can de-authorize licenses yourself

 

Have you noticed any impact on performance, load times, etc? Any idea how often the soft version needs online checks?

I'm dragging my feet on installing the update, being honest. Looks interesting but I don't feel like doing a bunch of troubleshooting

 

H2O actually cracked WIBU years back when Yellow Tools (rip) used that kind of protection.... infact I have a WIBU dongle from when I perchased YT Independence way back ........
Ohhh..... I love these dongles

 

today wibu is further.....

i got 1 dongle too...reason6.5

 

Also I love the new filter. Finally a finely modeled filter in Avenger. The modulation full window part is actually cool.
The new skin is not to my taste. How can anyone use this thing, so white it freaking blinds !

Honestly the codemeter thing goes a bit above my head. But it's true that I didn't even blink when I did antares authorization process, vengeance was less than ideal, the security itself (how many autorization, possibility to deauthorize are pluses) for me doesn't change anything, no performance issue and no need for dongle, but it would probably have been smart to do like Antares an authorization tool that you setup and use from your deskop in a non hassling way, a way that would allow for deauthorization from the desktop, maybe even the download of the exe from the desktop, like some authorization tool do (Flux, Native Instrument, P.A, you can authorize from ilok manager for the soft authorization, izotope authorization tool, etc).
The whole "open your browser log into your avenger account on vengeance site, browse to the authorization page", is pretty whack. Without any detailled instruction either on their website or anywhere, it was bound to generate - bad - reactions.
The most annoying part for me wasn't actually that. Took me 6 hours to dl the factory bank !
Felt a bit like waiting desperatly for my daily dose ! Obviously that part isn't vengeance fault...

Perobably Rene will improve theprocess over time. I think it was quiet time consuming to implement the new protection and to fully understand how it works for him. We will see.

 

It is still loading as fast/slow as before

source ?

There is also offline auth possible.

 

cool thanks guys
