  • elicense dongle

    I have an IMAC (early2009). I wish to try out Vienna Ensemble Pro before deciding to buy.

    I have 2 Ilok donglea old and new  But Oh no ...not good enough for vienna!

    If i don´t purchase this product I´m stuck with a dongle i have abolutely NO USE FOR!!!.even if it cost a penny

    I would like to have this TEMPORY license on my HD without using any dongle...it is DEMO..for goodness sake!! What do they need a license for..it EXpirse in 30 days anyway!!

    Vienna has the most expensive VI´s and I want to be TOTALLY satified before putting any money on the table!!

    IS there a workaround?? if not then ..NO VIENNA ENSEMBLE PRO

    HELP

    regards 

    Frank


  • Hello Frank, 

    eLicenser and iLok are 2 different copy protection systems, that's why they are not compatible. 

    I understand your position, but right now it's not possible to demo our products without a physical ViennaKey or other USB eLicenser. 

    Sorry to have no better news. 

    Best,
    Paul

  • Vienna,

    Will you please reconsider this policy?  Some of us work on laptops, and it's a huge pain to have a piece of hardware sticking out of our only USB port.  Not to mention, it crashes every time the computer goes to sleep or you want to switch the dongle to a different port (like if you want to switch to a hub so you can have two usb ports, say, a midi keyboard and a usb license).

    I don't think I can describe fully how limiting and painful this is.  I have to restart my system, and reload the libraries every time the USB loses power.  I've lost work because of it numerous times by forgetting to save before I have a conversation with my wife, computer goes to sleep, game over!

    This is so horrible.  Please do something about it!!
