    Hi,

    I'm using the Orchestral Strings I and Brass I VI's (both extended) and the demo starts on my ViennaKey are running out. The 2 collections are showing up in the LCC as authorised so I don't see why I'm losing starts.

    I have just under 50 left and I only noticed because the LCC gave me a warning. The VI's are loaded into Plogue Bidule in Windows XP. I'm nearing the end of a commission and the last thing I want to happen is to have Bidule refuse to load up the sounds as the project nears conclusion!

    Can anyone think why this might be happening?

    Thanks in advance,

    Martin

    mosso, i can confirm your licenses downloaded to your ViennaKey correctly and for both (strings I and brass I) the standard and extended license is active.

    there is just one thing i could think of: there are strings patches which contain also cello and double bass references - if you are trying to load those the demo starts might count down (but you should receive a message *wave file not found* or similar)

    Thanks for the reply Christian. I've had a look through my current template and all the string patches I'm using in the violins & violas VI's begin with VI-14 or VA-10. I tried loading one of the combined string patches just to check and I did get the message you mentioned (wave not found etc.), but I haven't seen it any of the other times I've loaded this template.

    I'm not running the latest version of the LCC (I'm running 5.2.6.2) - would that make a difference? I am running the latest version of Bidule.

    Have any other users out there spotted similar behaviour?

    Thanks again for the help,

    Martin

    IIRC more or less the difference between 5.2.6.2 and the current one is just the included license database, but this would not apply to your case.

    if you have a second syncrosoft e-licenser you could transfer the demo license to this one and see what happens (any messages appear), even if you remove the demo license nothing should change.

    can't remember now a certain case where demo starts count down without reason ... just drop an email to support@vsl.co.at or my email in case you notice license problems later.
