Mornats Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Bah, my SSD has just failed on me so I've switched back to an old pair of Raptor hard drives to keep me going. Trouble is, none of my virtual instrument software is authorised and on some of it (due to upgrading) I've ran out of authorisations. It's going to take a few days just get them reauthorised and then I'm going to run into the same problem when I get a new SSD. If I'd ripped off this software I'd be fine, but as I paid good money for it all I'm screwed. I can't record the song I've had in my head all day. I wonder what the point of being 100% legit is sometimes. Rant over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Which is another reson why I use non-DRM freeware for mixing stuff (not necessarily the same as writing I grant you). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Reaper's philosophy on DRM is fantastic which is one of the reasons I support them. However I've ran out of authorisations on Toontrack's EZdrummer (it's on a Mac, my PC and I've upgraded my PC a couple of times which has gone through 3 out of the 4 auths). I'll need two more auths to get it working on my old drives then again on a new SSD. Such a pain! I know piracy is a problem for these companies but making it harder for the people who are happy to pay for it isn't the way forward.

Mornats Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Cheers for the tip. I looked into it and EZdrummer and my Native Instruments software aren't supported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
