Wow!

The Dongle was the reason why I stopped buying VSL Products although I like them.
Maybe other Libraries sound better but the Software is so great compared to others ->Vienna Instruments Pro and VEP!

After I had a real nightmare about loosing or damaging my Dongle I spend extra money for the Vienna Protection Plan but I always thought it's a shame to pay for that.

I think that I won't be the only customer you'll get back.

Thanks and greetings!

In the last VSL Newsletters there is an offer to get the Vienna Smart Orchestra as registred user of Vienna Special Edition Vol. 1(I am one...) for €95 until 31. of Jan.. But if I log in that discounted price is not shown.

Perhaps it sounds like a joke for many insurance companies to insure software....
I struggled hard with the decision to sell my VSL Licenses to get rid of my Dongle nightmares and to buy from a more custumer friendly company. But it may be hard to find a buyer...

(Because: "To find a buyer, these are the rules:

1. The buyer must be found privately and the products must not be advertised in the VSL forum.
2. Auction platform like eBay are not allowed.  ")

I've guarded my keys with my life, but if anything did ever happen to them and I had to deal with this policy, I think I'd feel a bit insulted as a long term VSL customer, especially considering the significant financial investment required to buy the library over the years. I understand that piracy needs to be prevented, but the VSL license policy just seems to be punishing the hard working, honest musos that pay for their tools.

+1

I also invested al lot of my few Money in VSL-Products and really like them. I have 2 Computers, one at Home, the other at our Studio. I bought two Licenses of Cubase and Halion because I often forgot my Dongle and was afraid of damaging it by often plugin it in and out. But I won't buy two Licenses of all that VSL Stuff. Other Companys have much better Solutions against Piracy which allow you use their Software on 2 or even 3 Computers and switch the Licenses onlini or via Software!!. "VSL has the worst licensing policy of any software company I have ever dealt with" - Yes thats true and thats because I decidet to buy no more VSL-Products. And I know I'm not the only one... And it makes my sad....  )-:

Hi, thanks for the replys.

@Paul: Thats what i use to Copy & Paste the Controller Mappings from one VI Pro Instance to another one in VE Pro. For my Workflow it would be much easier if the Values of each Controller were taken over too.

I have an empty VI Pro PRESET just with my most used Controller Mapping with their Values which i use as starting Point.

It would be much easier for my workflow when building Presets and Templates if the Values of the Controllers would be taken over if I paste them to another Preset. For me its very frustrating to apply every controller to my standard starting Values for special Instrument Groups after pasting them. A good Solution could be to Save Controller Mappings (with their values to a special File). (Yes i know about the "Startup" Preset...)

Maybe anyone has a Solution to get around that issue?
