BarnacleBob Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Do you need the Dongle to activate it though? I've noticed recently that the demo versions need the dongle and that ain't free though it is refundable with a full purchase. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Line 6 offered a supposedly "free" version of their "pod farm" software, only you have to spend £25 on a dongle to get it! I purposely don't buy any software that needs one of these stupid dongles, not least because most software that needs it has already been cracked, meaning the only people who are losing out are the people who actually have to put up with using a sometimes much needed USB slot for a pointless bit of plastic.

jaydentaku Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think the only catch is, you can gain access to the back panel as you can in the current version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnacleBob Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 used to have stand alone demos of Arturia Prophet 5, Jupiter 8 and YAM CS80 - not time limited but feature disabled. Download, Midi up and away I went. Lost them when my laptop totally self destructed - latency wasn't all it could be due to lack of processor power but still useable. Now even after installing the softlicenser software and any demo software it still requires a dongle. Extract from activation email.... .........Detailed installation instructions: Nota : This software is protected by e-Licenser and does not require any dongle. A Syncrosoft protection key (also called USB dongle) may be required in order to test this demo version . If you have bought some recent Steinberg products (Cubase SX for example) you might already have this USB dongle . Otherwise, thanks to our "No Key, No Problem" offer , you can order a syncrosoft key with us online. If you send back the key within the two months following the purchase date, you will be reimbursed for both the price of shipment and the key. This offer is valid for up to two months after the purchase date, after which the key cannot be returned........... contradicts itself right away not too clued up on this so maybe i am missing something BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 An I-lok is just a USB drive. I have one for proTools. The right files still need to be on it. You can use an I-lok to store files for more than one piece of software though, which can be handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) I have a Steinberg/Syncrosoft key for Nuendo 5.5 and an iLok account for a lot of other stuff. Both will take many licenses. [iLok over five hundred i think] If you run your DAW from a Laptop, i can understand some folk having a moan about using two USB ports for keys/dongles, but on a desktop with eight USB ports it's not a problem. Also with Steinberg/Syncrosoft you can transfer your licenses. Garry Edited June 16, 2012 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Also, if you're running your DAW on a laptop and need USB sockets then you could always get a hub - cheap as chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 IME someone who's got an iLok would be running an audio interface that's a bit more pro than one which attaches via USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 iLok account is just for storing licenses - nothing more or nothing less. From a $20.00 plug in to $2000.00 top end Orchestral sample library. You can transfer licenses between accounts, insure your software against theft or loss.

xgsjx Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It works, it just takes a bit of time & maybe a couple of attempts (probably due to traffic). I downloaded it this morning & it's excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
