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.

for those with cards spread over two comps.

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'.

Sure.
