#ALTIVERB 7 SALE PORTABLE#
I use dongle with my portable laptop and I travel a lot so probably the dongle will be broken because of heavy use at some point in the future. I am really sorry that I need to leave VSL sound and go for some other library for the time being. I still hope that VSL will find some other solution - especially that many of those exist on the market and are proved to be working fine. VSL team please keep us informed I hope you will find some solution to the dongle issue. I am also a loyal user of VSL products for almost 8 years. I started with the Special Edition, then I gradually invested large sums of money to complete my collection. Today, I am lucky to have the complete Vienna libraries and software. The issue raised here is fundamental, even if it is not new at all. By consulting the forum, we can go back a long way. I am surprised that Vienna has not reconsidered its position and took opportunities offered by technological change as they did, for example, using more and more systematically direct download for the purchase of new instruments. I note, like others, that in all the products I use for my work (academic studies in the humanities) or my leisure activities (serious amateur musician), VSL is the only company whose practice in the field of intellectual property protection is so severe and harmful to its honest customers. How can we justify such commercial practices in 2017 when other companies have found satisfactory solutions for all? Steinberg seems to be a good example of this.

In addition, in recent years other products have come to compete more and more seriously VSL for professional uses. Although I still believe that VSL is well ahead, I think this is a challenge not to be overlooked and that the dongle replacement policy is a more and more negative element not only for its current customers, but also for potential new customers.įinally, I do not think Vienna could maintain its policy if it were based in my country because it would conflict with the legislation. Moreover, I still didn’t find yet an insurance company that agrees to cover my risks. Thank you for continuing to keep our exchanges of views in this thread in a spirit of mutual respect. I too have a lot of money tied up on these little dongles. I'm not so afraid of losing them, but I'm afraid of them failing.

Plus I have to manage my licenses carefully which is too much overhead. I can only use VSL in my home studio since I'm too afraid to take the dongles anywhere I keep them locked up when not in use.
#ALTIVERB 7 SALE SOFTWARE#
I just had a scare today when the eLicenser software said one of my dongles had failed.

I copied the licenses off to known good dongle.įortunately I went over to an older computer that had USB 2.0 and an older version of the eLicenser software and the dongle worked there. Then I took the known good dongle and put it back in the orignal computer. This time I could read the dongle, but the licenses were wrong. I killed the licensing software and rebooted the computer and "magically" I could see my missing licenses. This has happened before and doesn't give me a lot of confidence. I keep my VSL licenses on 6 different dongles, just in case one does acually fail. I suppose if my house burns down I could claim the $12,000 or so dollars on my insurance, but then I would be saying goodbye to VSL for good.Ī better approach to me is like the iLok or Waves solution. For my purchases protected by iLok, I can transfer the licenses to the iLok Cloud when I'm not using them. The only time I keep licenses on my iLok is if I'm using them. The same goes for Waves, I don't keep the Wave licenses on my computer unless I'm using them. I travel a lot and if someone were to steal my iLok or my laptop, my iLok and Waves licenses are safely stored in "The Cloud".
