The cloud is not reliable and it means you have to have your daw computer online. Most studios don't allow their machines online. And a machine license restricts you from easily moving your asset to another machine - again the computers would have to be online.
I've used machine licenses for years and they have been just fine.

Had it happen where if I make a change in my system the machine license goes south. Besides if you want to use a licensed plugin that has a machine license on another machine you've got all kinds of hoops to jump through. Not so with an iLok or Vienna Key.Besides if you want to use a licensed plugin that has a machine license on another machine you've got all kinds of hoops to jump through.

No hoops at all! I have 3 VEP licenses using 3 dongles on three computers. Three machine licenses would be so much better! I've machine licensed hundreds of plugins and never had a problem.

With a dongle you can take your license anywheres to any machine in any studio.

Why on earth would you want to?
I gather you've never worked in in a studio other than you're own right? Been there/done that and not everyone has the same things you work with. Not all licenses are site-wide but only good for one person. And if I need to go to a backup machine having the license on a dongle makes it super easy. I guess you've never had a system take a dump on you.

I've worked in lots of other studios but not one that had VEP installed and didn't have a dongle!

[/quote]It may not be legit to use the studio's dongle - not sure that VSL grants site licenses.

I'm not sure what that means but it's all moot because VSL is not going to have computer licenses anyway.
We either have to have a dongle or be connected 24/7 to the internet.
[/quote]I never mentioned computer licenses. Strictly talking about dongles. And 24/7 connection to the net isn't going to happen unless VSL allows iLok Cloud. That's iffy at best and depends on a studio having it's machine online all the time.
Hi,
I'm considering to buy the voice complete, but I have an apple silicon computer.
I had a long and bad experience with the elicenser, and it's no longer working on m1 (not sad)
But I don't want to spend money on something I can't use until ...
Any idea of the release of Ilok authorization ? (I guess this a question that all user in the forum are wondering)

[/quote]Won't the elicenser s/w run in Rosetta 2?

happy if it's works for you, not for me, as I had a really bad experience with it (month of unusable plug in cause of it and the support of steinberg was aware of the problem) I don't want to use this key anymore !!!

Mine works fine on my Macbook Air M1 (Cubase and VEP)

[/quote]If a dongle is wonky do this: shut down your computer then unplug and replugin the dongle and then start up the computer. Connections can go flaky with no apparent reason - humidity changes and such can cause connections to go flaky. Just had such an issue with my Vienna Key last week and what I wrote fixed the issue.
Oh ! I plug and unplug the elicenser several times because it was not detected - never had to do this with my iloks ...The elicenser is terminated good bye no regret 😊
I updated to nexus 4 just to leave the elicenser no waiting for VSL (and probably buy the complete vocals)

What's the date that ilok would replace the e-licenser? Because I want to buy the new harp, but the situation now is quite awkward to me.
Hi,
There is no date yet. But we will let you know as soon as everything is ready, via newsletter and in this thread.
We have made the ViennaKey super-cheap (13 EUR) and add a 20 EUR Voucher to compensate for the shipping costs... AND you will get a converted license for iLok as soon as the transition to iLok is ready.
Best,
Paul
