  • Staggard trial period of extended VIs when buying SC?

    The title probably makes no sense... let me explain,

    If you buy the standard SC I know you get a 30 day trial of the extended library, but does that start for all VIs the momment you register your standard edition? So each VI (Solo STrings,Chamber,Woodwinds,Brass,etc) are all running on the same 30 day timer, or does each one have a seperate timer that starts when you first use a patch from their respective libraries?

    Here's the reason I ask, say I buy the whole SC. Can I spend 30 days using JUST the solo strings extended w/ the standard library. Then when the extended solo strings expires I can try the Woodwinds I extended... etc.

    If it is all on the same timer, I could spend 30 days looking through the strings just to find out the time has expired with no chance to view the extended libraries in the woodwinds/brass/etc. And 30 days to try out the extended content of 10 VIs ... well I couldn't do it [:)]



    If the answer is no (they're all on the same 30 day timer) ... any chance you'd consider giving each of the 10 packs their own 30 day timer that starts when the user first uses a patch from their respective extended libraries?

  • GPGIII, so far the procedure is planned to work in the following way:
    each collection has a serialnumber - after registering you receive a code for activation of the standard library. if you don't have or want to purchase a license for the extended library you can request a code to activate the extended library for 30 days/30 starts (note: time-limited licenses have to be renewed when the given number of starts are used).
    the demo period begins when you activate the respective license on your ViennaKey - means download/transfer the license from the license server using your demo code.
    so you can decide by yourself when you want to start your 30 days trial seperately for each collection you have registered.

  • Thanks CM!

    Just to make sure I understand correctly, when you buy the SC do you still register all 10 collections seperatly?

  • yes, this is the current state. possibly the license server will be capable to activate all 10 collections in one run (with a single code) in the future.
