Will VSL keep the same licensing method from Steinberg for the coming year?
The reason for asking is because Korg have announced that they will be changing their software copy protection from the old syncrosoft method (USB key) to a challenge-response system, and an important reason in doing so is that Steinberg apparently will make some changes next year.
Comments from Korg support make it clear that replacing the licenses of stolen dongles was a very time consuming matter, and coupled with the bad customer support this was reason for Korg to make the move to take back control instead of relying on a third party like Steinberg.
Personally I have had abysmal experience with Yamaha customer support (which is why I no longer buy Yamaha products anymore), and since Yamaha is the owner of Steinberg (and Steinberg customer support also seems to follow Yamaha's example) Korg feared the worst for the future.
So, I was wondering about VSL.
