Yes, I understand the difference between having them in your account versus activated on a dongle...and indeed, all my licenses are definitely activated.
I am open to any and all suggestions. This has left me with an unusable system.
Thanks Bill

In the middle of downloading my content. What's disappointing is that on a Mac there's no special icon for Vienna Assistant. It's a non-descript looking piece of paper with what looks like the letter A - I think this might just be the generic Apple application icon.
I'll jump into this thread here rather than starting a new one :)
I have two products: Big Bang Orchestra and Great Rieger Organ. Both have transferred successfully to my iLok account.
With Big Bang I have two activations available. I have used one to my desktop PC and the other is unusued. There is no option to activate to iLok Cloud.
With Great Rieger Organ there is only one activation and this is only to iLok Cloud. Why is there only one activation and no 'activate to computer' option?
EDIT: I have stupid 'Covid positive for three days' brain. Seems like all of the Syncron stuff is Cloud only. IGNORE ME FOR I AM A FOOL! :D

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Synchron Player yet? Worth posting some screenshots?
Failing that - and painful as it might be - you could uninstall and revert to the eLicenser-versions of the software if you need to get working...
Hello everybody,
Thanks for posting here... We're doing our best to keep the overview 😊
Of course fellow users will be able to help as well, but you're always on the safe side with a mail to our support team, with a detailed description of the troubles: support@vsl.co.at!
We'll get through those teething troubles very quickly, new updates already in the pipeline!
Best,

Hi Paul,
I have a gigabit fibre connection. Some of the downloads are comming in at 100-150 kB/s. I have a lot to download so this wont work. When I first started some of the downloads were at 50 to 60 MB/s.
I have test the speed of my connection and get full gigabit from my provider. Is this happening because your servers are overloaded.
Thanks,
Dave
Hi Dave,Something to add to this if I may - it may not be a single-hop from VSL to a person's home computer. And if somewheres along the way the path goes through a satellite that will factor into the download speeds. Also some isp's will throttle down speeds as well.
The spikes are probably the downloads picking up one by one.
Servers are busy bit we‘re content with the overall performance.
Thanks for your patience!
Best, Paul
Get a real physical iLok and ditch Cloud anything. It's not reliable. Also what are your system specs?Hi
Since i moved my licenses to iLok (cloud), Synchron Player takes ages to load (sometimes 5 minutes!).
I also noticed an increase of 5% of CPU usage for the PACE License Service process during the loading, so i think it is something related.
Can someone help me?
Hi

CPU speed? Operating System? Have you optimized your computer for music work? Do you have anything else running on the computer?I thought the idea of moving to iLok was to get rid of the dongle 😊
My specs are:
CPU: i7 9750h
RAM: 64Gb
Internal SSD
You NEVER want to trust anything Cloud related as the performance can really vary from semi-ok to downright miserable. iLok 3's are quite a bit smaller than the iLok 2. Sooner or later you're going to need a physical iLok for other software - trust me on that as not every developer allows iLok Cloud or iLok machine.
Hi Kmetal,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Besides the fact that your existing setup will keep on working just like it is, license management is much more convenient with iLok, which will also allow us a few options in the future (give it just a little time to see what we have in store).
Not HAVING to use a physical key is a huge game changer for many musicians out there! So the iLok cloud, while it is not the perfect solution for everybody, is quite a change there.
Learn more about your advantages with iLok right here.
I'd like to fact-check a few of your statements:
1) "So far I'm looking at $600 for 6x new iloks"
Last time I checked the price was around $50 for an iLok key.
2) "And to salt the wound, the Vi Pro Player I paid hundreds of dollars to buy and upgrade, is now free."
This move makes many users happy and it was high on time to catch up there. No intention to cause any pain. You paid around $115 for 3 licenses in 2017 (€108), I checked.
3) "And my MIR Pro and 6 Room packs won't work with iLok yet."
That must be a misunderstanding. The situation with MIR Pro is special, but MIR Pro and all RoomPacks work just fine in VE Pro 7. I'm explaining this special situation here.
4) "VEP 6 was out for about a year or so before 7 was released, that's really pushing the noting of "legacy"".
I'll have to correct that as well... VE Pro 6 was introduced in August 2016 and we have pushed development with VE Pro 7 immensely in the coming years until we were ready to introduce VE Pro 7 with a single license concept in May 2019.
Best,
Paul
Paul,
My account is still currently waiting to be i-Lok transfer approved (still waiting to board the plane, as it were). If I purchase something, does that allow my account to begin transferring licenses?
