Hey Andy,

i work for a company that uses the ilok and we DO NOT ship the ilok with our products - reason being you only need 1 ilok for all of our products (and any other ilok company products) and the ilok has room for 100 licenses. I don't know if waves does the same but I would assume so.

dont buy dongle-required software. period. it sucks. one of many reasons im ditching propellerheads Record and now maybe also Reason (v5).

well i was thinking of getting nexus but that requires a dongle too

Well, after a bunch of hiccups with the Celemony Challenge/response method, and out of experience, although I don't like dongles at all, I must admit that they spare you a lot of time whenever you need to re-install your computer from scratch. I might have to get one for Celemony Software only.

I used to have an ilok, and I used to install several iLoks for clients. What I know is that most people like me DO HATE the iLok authorization system on their website, guess why they ask me to do it.

I'm so happy that Korg removed their dongle system for a simple C/R. But that said, I keep my steinberg key delivered with the Korg software, just in case.

If developers think that those dongles will help them fight the windows users who are keen to use illegal software only, they are simply wasting their time. The only way forward is cheaper prices for everyone. Many developers got it, and some of them are so smart when it comes to selling their stuff that they don't even need to post demo versions of their software... Audiodamage? D16? THEY ROCK YET THEY'RE CHEAP!

Guess why Waves is BANNED from my environment... Still you want to know how many cracked apps I am using? ZERO, Nada, nothing. I've got 8k of plug-ins and instruments on this hard drive!

I forgot my reply to the original post.

NO, Waves are too greedy to deliver a single iLok with their plug-ins, as they also own ilok/Pace, they need that business to be healthy too LOL
