I vote for iLock as well. Never had a problem. It just does its thing in background so you never even notice it. With Syncrosoft, however, there is constant updates but worst of all I find it completely unprofessional that it just sits there with no indication of what it's doing for a minute or more when you load a VSL instrument. With today's computing speed I really can't see why it needs more than a couple seconds unless it actually checks the hdd for installed files which should absolutely not happen every time you load up your first instance of a VSL instrument (after loading your daw). This hardware/software combo might be very effective at combating piracy, but it is doing so at the inconvenience of the legitimate users who have invested a lot of money in these products. The iLock shows it doesn't have to be this way.
- Syncrosoft works in the background for me as well.
- I don't update Syncrosoft, except when I buy a new product. Why are you updating more often?
- My licences take 4 seconds to scan. Scanning content takes the next minute.
- I can't compare with iLok directly, as I as only have about 8 iLok products.
