    Hi I just purchased the Special Edition and this is my first foray into virtual orchestras so I had a question about use. I understand VSL uses a dongle to authenticate the software. My question is can I load the samples on my desktop and my laptop and simply unplug the dongle and plug it into the other pc when I want to switch over? I didn't know if this was violating any licensing. Jon

    To answer your question: Yes, no problem. You as the license-taker can actually use your VI products on any computer that has your ViennaKey with your licenses connected [:)]

    Best,
