I hope someone has a solution. Not productive to hash out license issues. I tried moving up to the ilok setup without knowledge of the 32bit being discontinued. Now I'm trying to go back to the old setup. I believe I have two PCs sorted out but it appears the last PC that has a license issue doesn't show my third Pro 7 license, so it is not opening. How do I get that key to cooperate? Help is appreciated. 

I have a 32bit instrument that is listed under Preferences/Plugins/Available plugins, but the VSTi will not open in the mixer area. All others work fine but this one instrument. The instrument works fine in my 32bit Studio One. I normally use x64 vst but this particular one, Bagpipes, just will not open in 32bit VEP7 Server. Its a one time use for a special song, so it would be nice to get it to work in 32bit and move on.

Thanks for any help

Hello.

System worked great, then a gremlin throws a wrench in the gears. Both server pc's were connecting automatically with compositions that were already in the making. I used to could shut down and come back the next day and all the parts would boot back up how I saved it. Now the songs that were working, will no longer connect automatically. The instances I inserted into the DAW channel have to be manually connected each time. The addresses show up in the window for the server PC's but connecting everything each time is killing a lot of time and the work flow. Any guesses as what I can try? Thanks 

Sorry Paul, but I'm having some difficulty navigating the site. Exactly how do I get to where the additional license are? I have two license on two slaves. I want to put a license on the DAW to use Epic Orchestra. If you could get me to the license section. It used to appear to the left of my account info but it's not showing. Maybe things have changed around some since I purchased the last license. Thanks

Hi all.

I thought I had a bad gigabit switch, so I replaced it. There is still no communication to my two PC slaves with Pro Server 7. What I eventually discovered was it all comes on line when I power off and on the switch. It works fine if the new gigabit switch or the old switch is power cycled. But I have to do that when ever I start a session. Anyone have an idea what's going on with my system? It has always worked great up until this last update the other night. The update could've been a while ago, I've just started back after some down time. Thanks for any help.

Thank you Paul.

I understand now. 

Hi Paul. Help me with this please.

My understanding was the master pc did not need a Steinberg key/license while I worked with the DAW but the server/slave pc's did need a Steinberg key/license to work.

If so, I moved the Steinberg key from my master pc to another slave to get the Big Bang Orchestra to play from that pc. But now the master daw pc will not open the Pro 7 server software now. I have ordered another usb key as you suggested but I was trying this to see if it worked like this. I did order an extra license a few months ago so I could use it on my DAW pc but now I have a new computer to add as another server. So it is getting confusing. My setup is this; two slave pc's and one DAW pc.

I'm still rearranging my room but I would like to have the Big Bang on one slave and the other slave for various VST's. And of course the DAW pc to accommodate this. Your thoughts?

Thanks

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.... 

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

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

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.
