You have easy online and offline activation, and when using a USB stick, its compatible with your Wave auths as well.
I wish all manufacturers would move to this platform. Forget having to spend money on an overpriced flash drive (iLok) and just use a regular flash drive and have the option to authorize certain computers at the same time. Your auth'ed computer crashes? NO PROBLEM, go online to your account, de-activate the computer. and you have that auth right back in your account. No ZDT to pay, no shipping in a flash drive filled with ALL your auth's, no fees, no wait, no worry. Its like an iLok without all the restrictions, pumped up fees, and unfriendly terms.

I'll take another look at Plug-in Alliance, the addition of the USB stick is a great improvement for them. It's just that the last time I looked there were no DSP plug-ins. Perhaps that is changing?
