Ugg...I hate building new workstations
The thing I hate most about building new Protools work station is trying to get all the plugins installed and authorized. The iLok ones are relatively easy. But all the other's that don't use a centralized authorization service are a PITA.
And then you have to try to remember which one you had and where you kept the authorizations codes. resetting passwords to every website because you haven't logged in in 3 or 4 years. And then waiting for my slow ass satellite internet to download everything. Wish there was a better way. Would be cool if the iLok system had a link built in to go download the software automatically, so you just slect which ones you want to install and it fetches the installers remotely from each website.

But, I'm adding a MacBook Pro to my tool box, so I need all new installers anyway.

Re: Ugg...I hate building new workstations
Never said I was giving up Windows. I'm adding a Mac to the gear cabinet, mostly as a back up unit for my primary Windows machine and so I can do redundant recording for live events.
I only got the Mac so that I can run QLab. Otherwise I would have gotten another Lenovo P15 workstation.

Re: Ugg...I hate building new workstations
Furthermore, how does it apply to a Macintosh computer?
