Hi,
I just purchased a license for Dorico, and had to discover that it only allows a single license installation, either as a Soft or USB eLicenser. Therefore, I'm considering what to do to make this license cohexist with VSL licenses.
Since I mainly use VSL libraries on my desktop Mac, and Dorico on both my desktop and notebook Mac, I'm thinking about this fist strategy:
a) Keep VSL licenses on a key, Dorico license on a second key.
This way, the VSL key will stay (more or less) safe in my studio, and Dorico's key move together with me.
A second strategy, to continue working with macho orchestral libraries everywhere, is this:
b) Keep VSL and Dorico licenses on a single key. In case it is lost, no problem with the Steinberg license, but you are broken with the VSL's.
I would prefer the two-keys solution (a). Can two keys peacefully cohexist on a powered USB hub?
Another question is this: I would like to I purchase a second Steinberg Key now, to make a single shipment. The first key will be used for Dorico, the second one will be the replacement VSL key to be used when my current VSL key ends the two-year warranty.
Will the warranty for the new key start at the moment of purchase, or when I move my VSL licenses on it?
Thank you for the help in solving this little headache!
Paolo
