Yes I know - yet another VEPro questions thread. I've done some searching and am a bit confused. Here they go:
If using VEPro on one computer you need their dongle - I get that. My confusion here is when using a master & slave computer setup. Do I need to install the VEPro s/w on the slave computer as well (I imagine I would)? The other question here is from what I've read the dongle now gets moved to the slave computer - right? Or do I need two dongles? Other than having a server started on both machines do I need to do anything further on the slave except for maybe some network setup? Second question - if I insert a vi into the PT-hosted server do I control (like select patches, etc.) said vi from the master or slave? It seems like it would be controlled from the master but I want to be sure. The reason I'm asking all this is my wife is pushing for me to get my iMac fixed (it apparently has a fried video card) to work alongside the mid 2012 MacPro I got to replace it. Space is a problem as I don't have the room to have them side-by-side but could have them facing 180 away from each other (back of iMac almost against the side of the cheesegrater). Don't necessarily want to get into screen sharing if I can help it. |

Two interesting (for you) parts to this answer.
1) You only need the dongle on the computer running the VEPro server, it is NOT needed on a computer only running a VEPro plugin {which you use to link to the VEPro server(s)}. So you can run Pro Tools on one computer, AND instantiate the VEPro plugin, without a VEPro license present on that computer (it lives on an eLicenser dongle, not an iLok by the way). You have the eLicenser dongle plugged in to the other computer, which you are running the VEPro server on. 2) But what if you want to run more than one VEPro server, say one on the same computer as Pro Tools, and another on your other computer? Well you would then need two eLicenser dongles, each with a VEPro on it, so both servers can see a license. The good news is that when you buy VEPro they give you THREE licenses, so with one purchase you can run three VEPro servers on different computers. Potentially, of course, you could then be running Pro Tools, with VEPro plugins instantiated, on a fourth computer. The only slight downside is that you only get one license for the Vienna Essentials library that comes with VEPro, so you have to run that on one server, while using the others for your other VI.

Now to try and suss out the answers to the rest of my questions. I see that Groove 3 has both VEPro5 & VEPro6 courses; bummed that it's Eli Krantzberg's stuff as he leaves out things in his other videos that should really be in there. I also know that Russ from PTE has a video but you have to be a member of his site and I ain't going through that again. |
