    Hi Neil, 

    We hear you, and of course we are looking for better options here. 

    I can't make any promises at that point, but for the time being, simply keeping your eLicenser connected will work for sure. 

    We'll keep you up to date!

    How will the Vienna (insurancce) plan work out with this? Will I have to pay twice to insure both Vienna key and ilok?

    Hi Firefrost, 

    If you keep using both keys, the optional protection plan and iLok ZDT will keep the VSL licenses on both your keys safe. Remember, there's also the cloud option with iLok.

    iLok ZDT and the Vienna Protection Plan seem redundant, am I incorrect? And if we use iLok Cloud, I’m assuming neither ZDT or the Vienna Protection Plan are necessary to protect our VSL licenses?

     

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Hi Jeff, 

    You will see more options once we are through this transition. You will be able to use your ViennaKey / eLicenser USB Key (if you like) AND the option you choose with iLok (key or cloud). 

    Depending on your choice and circumstances, the optional Vienna Protection Plan (for the ViennaKey) and the optional ZDT (for your iLok key) will make sense. 

    Best,

    Many thanks.

    I'd avoid the cloud if only because I sometimes like to work in places where there's no wifi but that's just me!

    Cheers.

    Although I never considered a bad thing the fact of using the eLicenser dongle, I wonder if it is also in discussion the possibility of Linux compatibility with the licensing management system that will replace it.

    Can we dream of the chance of having dedicated slave pc units running Vienna Ensemble Pro on Linux? I know it's quite a stretch, but since there will be a migration from eLicenser to iLok (don't know much about iLok compatibility with Linux distros though), wonder if that was actually considered by the good people of VSL.

    In any outcome, I'll still going to keep supporting VSL products :D

    Paul:

    Will there be Ilok computer authorizations as well as hardware Ilok?

    Hi beatpete, 

    We are looking at iLok key and iLok cloud right now. No computer authorizations.

    Ok that's a shame. It would be perfect for me if I could have my 3 licenses on my Main comp, server and laptop and not have to worry about internet or hardware.

    Was an email sent out about this announcement? I regularly get VSL emails but saw nothing about this. Found out when browsing another music forum.

    Hello, Paul,

    If I move my licenses to iLok cloud, does that mean that I will be able to sell and transfer my licenses without having to ship the physical key?

     

    Cordially,

    Tunai

    Hello Tunai, 

    Your licenses will be managed in your iLok account and you will be able to transfer your licenses without shipping a physical key, under our supervision.

    Dears,

    I have some questions.

    1. What will happen with Protection Plan?

    2. Will iLok work off-line?

    3. If you need beta testers? If yes, I can offer my help :-), as I am huge fan of VSL.

    Best regards,
    Seweryn.

    Hello Seweryn, 

    Some answers for you: 

    1) The Vienna Protection Plan will keep on working for your eLicenser key(s).

    2) iLok will work offline if you have an iLok key. 

    3) Thanks for your offer, we will definitely handle the main checks in-house. But it's good to know that we can count on you 😊

    Best, 
    Paul
