Ahh, good point!its for 2 years....
I can't speak for anyone else but my objection to their policy was that, if your laptop is stolen with the dongle in the bag, your only recourse is to buy all your VSL licenses again (at a 'generous' 50% discount). This would cost thousands for me, for what is essentially a simple electronic replacement.Funny that VSL got roundly criticised for their insurance policy for the e-licencer, but I never heard anything mentioned about ZDT and ELC even thought the cost was the same.....
There is a tiny dual USB adapter I purchased to be used in that hidden slot. That way I manage to have both ilok and syncrosoft key hidden (I think I stole that from Neil Parfitt)I decided to purchase the iLok 3 dongle as, inside my Mac Pro there is a "hidden" USB-A slot inside the machine. As such, I opened up my Mac Pro and, upon wondering how all the dust got in there despite Apple claiming no filter was needed as the fans were powerful enough to prevent dust buildup,
I also got that tip from Neil's videoThere is a tiny dual USB adapter I purchased to be used in that hidden slot. That way I manage to have both ilok and syncrosoft key hidden (I thing I stole that from Neil Purfitt)
regarding the dust, I opened the Mac after almost a year and not even a dust particle in there. I was surprised actually when you mentioned there was dust.
Host-based authorization is easier for pirates to defeat. Dongle-based and cloud-based copy protection aren't impossible crack -- just significantly harder.I'm wondering why host-based authorization isn't an option.
Well, watching some videos! Sometime (...well even often... LOL ) they are a bit funny, but anyway always pretty informative.I really want to dabble with VSL....but that website gives me anxiety....I just don’t know where to start...
Walk away from the VSL. We can't have you breaking your sobriety, um, I mean buying libraries. The rest of us will lose all hope it is possible.I really want to dabble with VSL....but that website gives me anxiety....I just don’t know where to start...
I made the dabble mistake. My wallet has now disowned me.Walk away from the VSL. We can't have you breaking your sobriety, um, I mean buying libraries. The rest of us will lose all hope it is possible.
psst...the Special Editions are a great place to start. But you didn't hear that from me. ....
That is simply not true![..]Yes I understand that, if their policy wasn't quite so draconian, there is a possibility that some may abuse the system[..]
This is true![..]but it should really fall on VSL to come up with a better way of protecting their products that isn't so punishing to legitimate customers.[..]
I love VSL products, but this is regrettably true also![..]I don't know of any other vendor that has such a customer-hostile policy in place[..]
