Well, I'm home from my trip and I get to decipher all these post. In all fairness to Paul, no wonder he's confused/exhausted trying to answer all our questions, driving him nuts... I probably need the other license, but it will be worth it, just to read all these post. Hope everyone else has conquered this transition. Happy music everyone.... 

Thanks bbelius.
I'll be home in a couple of days to confirm. I believe an instance of server may be running on the DAW pc. Hence, another license. Thank you

I do appreciate the debates about license I've been reading, but it leaves me a little more confused. I'm sorry to say Paul, but your answers are a little nebulous. All I expected was to continue working on my existing VEP 6 projects without interruption. 

To reiterate;

I have a DAW and slave. I use the slave for cpu intensive plugins. I want to connect my DAW pc to the slave pc but now it will not because the slave is asking for a license. I don't mean to sound ignorant but I'm asking on behave of my studio personel. It was setup months ago in working condition and now it doesn't work. I just need a solution to keep sessions running. If I have to get another license, so be it. But if I'm missing something to keep it running with just the one license, I would appreciate the solution.

Thanks everyone

Disappointment is a better word. I believe it would have been more appropriate to a least accommodate two computers with license before charging for the additional. I just have two pc's working together with many projects setup that way. I believed that one license would take care of the slave. That was the way I understood VEP 6, the license was just for the slave, not for the DAW pc, any more pc's on the network would require additional license.

This got complicated. Can I go back to VEP 6?

I did download the Epic Orchestra to my DAW pc. That works fine. I then downloaded the Por 7 few days ago to my DAW pc and that works on the DAW pc fine. I then downloaded the VEP 7 to the slave pc. When I try to open the server on the slave, it says no license. I'm assuming that all the projects in VEP 6 that are synced together between my two pc's, should open fine after the update. I hope that's the case, right. I'm only using one pc as a slave. Any thoughts?

I did Martin. I did notice when I open the key on the slave, it reads Vienna Ensemble 6.
Is it supposed to remain that way after upgrade, or should that change to 7?

While we're on license;

I just downloaded and installed to two PC's, just like I've been running VEP 6. & opens fine on the DAW PC. When I try to open the server on the slave, it says no license found. Not sure what I'm missing. Any thoughts please. Thanks

Question;
Does VSL Pro 7 replace Pro 6 as an update. If not, can we still use Pro 6 and Pro 7 together along with the old Epic Orchestra?
If Pro 7 replaces Pro 6, what happens to the other two license I have with Pro 6?

Thanks for your reply Paul. Epic is more of a curious question, as I have more orchestral samples than I know what to do with.
My main interest in Pro 7 upgrade is to take stress off the DAW like Pro 6 does at the moment.
I'm hoping this new version will have insert capabilities for compression, eq, etc.
I have my fingers crossed.

Does the upgrade price from VSL 6 to 7 include the new Epic Orchestra?
Also, are there any significant changes to VSL 7 that makes it more functional?
I can't find clear explanations for this.
Thanks

I've been trying to figure out the VSL/Waves conflict for two years now. Seems as if one of the two vendors could/would figure this out. Neither one of them are cheap and they are both big money makers in the plugin world. At least someone tell me how to get Studio Rack to work in VSL. I would be happy with that. I just want to get the really hungry Waves off onto my VSL slave so I can run my DAW without crashing. Thank you world.

I find that VE Po 6 works well for instruments and fx from a remote pc using Studio One 4. As I have read here, using compressors, de-esser, etc., inserted into tracks seems to be an issue. Has there been any progress in this area? Most of these post are over a year old. Inserting processing into a channel was one of the reasons I purchased VE Pro 6. Also, does anyone use Studio One 4 with the VEPro? If so, can you share any templates in the setup you use with VE Pro? Thanks

Hi all.

Paul, I have the same issue. My setup was working then suddenly can't find the Epic Orchestra. I read through these post and followed your suggestions but have had no luck. Any other help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Also, on another note, (no pun intended), can I install Epic on my laptop so I can work between to pc's? 

Thanks

Hello.

I'm new. Does anyone have any templates they can share for hosting a pc for FX?

I have Studio One 3.5 Pro on one pc, using another pc for the resource heavy vst fx. Instruments are not difficult to grasp so far but using another pc for the fx is a little confusing.

Thanks for any help.
