Just like UAD-1...

Post by erminardi »

My GREAT wish is a S|C plugin licence policy just like for UAD-1.
The plugins (reg key) are registred to the owner and not directly to the hardware.
I wish this because I own 5 CW/SC board but splitted for 2 different PCs.
So in one system I have Prodyssey, Prone and Flexor III that I formerly possess and I have paid but I cannot use in my other PC (that it is not away, it's distant 30 cm from the other!!!)

I really I sincerely hate the idea to have to pay twice what I have already purchased...

I think that this is very important point.
4PC + Scope 5.0 + no more Xite + 2xScope Pro + 6xPulsarII + 2xLunaII + SDK + a lot of devices (Flexor III & Solaris 4.1 etc.) + Plugiator.

:lol: right, but this is the best setup for enjoy both world of Scope in the same project: Scope routing and Scope XTC.
And obvoiusly for those own plus of 3 boards...

Anyway seems to be more correct a user licence instead a card licence.
UAD has changed from one to other medod without problem.
I have 2 UAD cards.
Recently I've splitted the two cards to the 2 PCs and now I can use the same registred plugs in both PCs.
I find this way more free and easily configurable in a long time (do you can now imagine which your future setup will be?)

I don't think it's possible (or at least not realistic) for the licensing system for the existing cards to be changed. The only way would be if SC have a back door method of removing the license system from your Scope install, but even if they had such a method, they wouldn't use it.

Or at least there is 50% discount or facilitations for those already has a registred copy of the plugin!

Totally agree. UAD have a great system where you can register upto 4 cards to a "Group" and then, when you purchase a plugin, you can then register it to one of these "Groups". This has really encouraged me to purchase their plugins, as I use more than one PC and know that their registration system means I can make maximum use of their plugins.

Computers are so cheap these days, for about £200 you could buy a half decent secondhand PC just to run plugins. Stick in a Sonic Core card, run a plugin host (EnergyXT costs about £30) and enjoy all that extra processing power. With the iminenet launch of Xite-1, this might not be in Sonic Core's best interest though. They would rather you would think along the lines of - need more processing power - by Xite-1 rather than purchasing another PC and card.

Surely you meant to say 'another PC and 10 cards'. :cool:
