Interaction between Finale 2008 and VE

[stevesong]

 As many may know, Finale is limited to using Native Instruments plugins within its own mixing environment. (One can use other plugins hosted by another application such Logic, DP or VE and addressed through Interapplication MIDI.) Because of this Finale, did not attempt to validate or open plugins other than those made by NI. Now, however, every time I open Finale it causes VE to launch. Nonetheless, VE remains invisible to Finale's AU Manager - - it is not listed as one of the options for AU playback within Finale. What this means is that one has to go through the whole license checking procedure every time one initially opens Finale. This is not particularly bothersome if one intends to use VE for playback, but there are many times when one wishes to do purely graphic editing in Finale - - but is nonetheless compelled to wait through license checking. 

This issue did not arise with the first (beta) version of VE, but began with the version released on 10/31/07

Please advise.

Stephen, I got the same problem as you with Finale 2006 and I had to REMOVE VE to get free to work with Finale! The fact that starting Finale asked VE to start too was making Finale 2006 start up process freezing... !!! So, Paul Steinbauer told me that this problem must be fixed in VE further upgrade... hope will happen soon! Yes, Finale do not see VE as AU plugin but Finale is working very well with VE as Stanalone. It is Very easy... I can send you my email exchange with Paul... Let me know your address...
