Re: The Mystery of the Purple Dongle
thanks everyone for the responses, but I think Dave has it. I just don't recall which of my plugins I needed it for. The sad thing is, I just lost the dang thing! I had all 3 in my pocket, and I think it fell out when I took out my car keys and I didn't realize it...and that could have been just about anywhere! I guess I'll find out when some VI or plugin won't load in. Then maybe I can find a way to get a replacement.

Re: The Mystery of the Purple Dongle
Nuendo uses the eLicenser. Maybe something from Steinberg?

Re: The Mystery of the Purple Dongle
Well, I found out what the dongle was for. It is the elicenser for reFX Nexus 2. I totally forgot that I got that when I bought Nexus a few years back. The rub is, reFX doesn't have any way for me to re-download my authorization code onto a new dongle...you only get to download it once from them. I can, of course, BUY a new license...which is essentially repurchasing the product. Yeah, they'll give me a whopping 10% discount. So for another $264 I can have Nexus 2 back. Not to mention the additional money I've spent on several of their expansions. I probably have close to $800 invested with them.
I simply can't believe that in 2018 we can't have a better system to protect software from piracy than these damn dongles! iLok, elicenser, whatever the hell it is Reason uses...the system sucks! What really frosts me is the entire system exists because of dishonest people out there. I'm not one of them (and I try hard not to be one either), but I have the pleasure of paying for their sins! Nice!

The Mystery of the Purple Dongle
I’ve never used or owned any sw that uses eLicenser for protection. Is there no such theft or lost dongle replacement system like iLok? If not, that’s pretty harsh.
Say what you want about Pace (and I’m no massive fan) at least there are reasonable options for recovering licenses. I mean, we’re talking about a physical device that is susceptible to loss, damage or theft. I think it’s pretty outrageous that there is no way of recovering these licenses. A minimal fee is one thing, but having to essentially purchase a license again is just crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

only for Steinberg products. Nexus is not a Steinberg product. reFX just has an agreement with them to use their elicenser system. Not having any way to recover a lost dongle license is just ridiculous in my opinion. I know others agree. At least iLok has a path to recover a lost or damaged iLok. What I am NOT going to do right now is fork over almost $250 to get another license from reFX. If I have that much extra cash, maybe I'll just get Avenger. I may just toss Nexus altogether. Yeah it sounds great, but so do a dozen other similar VIs.
