In case it is of interest to anyone, i was indeed unable to mix eLicenser and iLok synchon piano products IN THE SAME MACHINE. Guess I will have to forget using VSL offline (unless I buy the iLok dongle, but since I had bought the Steinberg eLicenser a couple of weeks before VSL announced the move to iLok, I am not too keen on getting another even more expensive dongle).

Thanks Jane F, I am well aware of that information from the FAQ (that was the reason for not buying the license upgrade from standard to full of the d-274 during last sale...), but I think that the wording in the faq is not 100% clear about the possibility of maintaining both licensing systems in the same machine for NON-SIMULTANEOUS use of different libraries. That is why I asked here for an official response, before deciding if a go full iLok or maintain my current situation. But should have asked before Paul's weekend :)

Ok... I have a d-274 eLicenser library running in my main laptop, and would like to keep it like that for as long as possible (I am offline from time to time, and that will force me to get an iLok dongle).

If I buy another synchron piano library, that library will come with an iLok license.

So, my question is: can both libraries co-exist in the same machine, or the moment I install the second library (iLok one) I will also be forced to install the iLok license of the d-274 and I will have no more offline library (unless I get the iLok dongle, of course)?

I already did that, but in a separate computer. Thus, I have a music-only laptop that is able to run the d274 offline with a dongle, and a work laptop that runs the ilok 274 (whenever I don't have the music laptop with me). I know that you can't have the SAME license on ilok and eLicenser on the same machine. But I am not sure what happens with two different licenses on the same machine: can you have one under eLicenser and the other one for a different library running on iLok?

I have a VSL library (Synchron Piano D-274) with the eLicenser license that I use in a laptop with the eLicenser dongle (from time to time I have to use it offline, and I like the convenience of the dongle). I am now considering to buy another synchron piano library (the Yamaha CFX), and that will of course come with the current iLok licensing.

My question is: can I have both systems installed in the same computer (not simultaneously, of course)? Run the d-274 with the eLicenser dongle and the CFX with the iLok system?

Thank you for the clarification... I am running the iLok versions on another computer without a problem, but since I cannot have eLicenser and iLok on the same computer, and I don't have continuous wifi access in that location, I need to consider the upgrade PLUS an iLok dongle... Have to think...

Hi Paul: one quick doubt... I bought the D-274 standard last year and I have it in my main computer with the eLicenser. Can I buy the upgrade to the Full version and make it work with the eLicenser, or do I need to move to iLok? That computer has sketchy access to wifi where it is located and as long as the eLicenser works I am fine with that...

This was a surprise (after the videos about the new Fazioli, I was expecting it to be the next synchron; maybe for Christmas???)... But this Bechstein is full of character and so different from the Bosendorfer Upright. Nice... Now I have to decide if I upgrade my D-274 to full, or if I buy the CFX, the BI or this new German Upright... Decisions, decisions...

I have one doubt about the demos, and the way it is handled with the iLok vs the old eLicenser way. I have already placed the order for all the demos and already have the serial numbers of each piano in myVSL/myOrders, but I don't have HD space to install all of them simultaneously. In the new iLok scheme, the free demos are only available to download until the 18th july, or can I download and activate the 30 days after the 18th July?

Thanks for the clarification... Will do that. Now I have a BI to go along with the D-274...

Paul... Thanks for the freebie...
One doubt: I want to maintain my elicenser, and so I have installed the ilok cloud manager in a second laptop.
May I install the Soft Imperial in this second laptop and maintain the elicenser in the first laptop (no ilok in this computer for the moment)?

The Vienna Assistant uses a very large UI that does not fit well in my laptop screen. Is it possible to define the resolution of the Vienna Assistant to 1920x1080?
