Steinberg & VSL dropping eLicenser
While browsing over at the Motunation forum (used to be a member there because I have Digital Performer) and saw a thread that mentioned that both Steinberg and VSL are dropping the eLicenser key; VSL has their Vienna key which is the same thing. VSL is going to iLok and it doesn't look like Steinberg have made up their minds. Dates for switchover unknown at this point in time.
Here's a link to a thread at the Steinberg forums: https://forums.steinberg.net/t/licen...s-ahead/701407 Here's a link to the VSL thread: https://www.vsl.co.at/community/post...Lok#post302591 For VSL it looks like for a short time they'll have both their existing system and iLok operational so one can make the changeover. They're saying it won't cost the end user anything (unless uoi don't have an iLok). They haven't settled on if it'll be physical iLok or include Cloud. No machine license. Thing is I never got an email from either company on this. Not only do I have VEPro 7 but also Wavelab 10 as well as a couple of ancient Arturia licenses on the Steinberg/Vienna key. And of course a boatload of licenses on my iLok. |

Re: Steinberg & VSL dropping eLicenser
Steinberg said that they would drop eLicenser in the future but they only begin the reflexion about it. They made a public statement after some major crash of their license server. So it may takes some time (months, years?) before it actually gets real. I think that's why they have not send any communication about it directly to individual users.

Re: Steinberg & VSL dropping eLicenser
I don't see it as a bad thing. To me, iLok is a better platform than eLicenser has ever been. I wonder how many company used eLicenser.

Re: Steinberg & VSL dropping eLicenser
Arturia used to use eLicenser in the early days.
