VSL needs to protect their software from piracy, but they also need to protect their customers. The best way to do this would be to have the dongle contact VSL every 60 - 90 days and the user enter a unique password to verify that they are the original purchaser. After the password is verified the dongle would be good for another 60 - 90 days. This could be optional as some people who only use their software in their own studio my see it as a hassle. But for someone that is out gigging or traveling with their VSL products this would be great.
This is a good idea but you can say that your dongle was stolen and sell it to somebody else
THE solution :
Every 60-90 days, VSL check if the dongle is not reported as stolen, If a dongle is reported as stolen, it is erased, the IP is given to the police.....
I have start to check for an insurance, the answer is : your dongle will be re-emburse but not it's contains because it is dematerialized
The insurance man was saying that what does VSL is not legal, and I should take an "Legal insurance" to be able to sue them if lose my dongle
In France the law allow you to do a private copy of any dematerialized stuff like software, music you buy on line....... as you have bought a license to use the product you should be able to restore the product.
