Hi everybody,
We cannot give you an exact date.
As soon as software is involved, unexpected things happen all the time. Especially in those final steps.
We don't want to upset or disappoint you by promising something we cannot deliver in time, so we don't make promises. Instead we take the time that's necessary to provide you with what you can rightfully expect: A comfortable transition process from eLicenser to iLok.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best,
Paul

Thank you for taking your time on this. It would be a huge mistake to rush such an important thing so - for what it's worth - I'm very, very glad the company is not (rushing). Imo, this transition is the correct move for many reasons and it's very important that it go off without a hitch (or as few hitches as possible).

I am not looking to be critical, but both e-licenser and iLok have been around a very long time, so I am surprised that transitioning from using one copy protection scheme to the other is such a big deal. But admittedly, I have no real knowledge as to what is involved.
Although someone earlier in this thread said otherwise, it seems logical to me that VSL would wait for iLok to be M1 native, which is yet to happen, before transitioning.I am not looking to be critical, but both e-licenser and iLok have been around a very long time, so I am surprised that transitioning from using one copy protection scheme to the other is such a big deal.

Good idea, but why don't you spend the time getting the e-licenser server working again so we can use new sample sets purchased?
It's not been working today, and you don't mention this on your website - which I reckon is a pretty poor show really.
Although someone earlier in this thread said otherwise, it seems logical to me that VSL would wait for iLok to be M1 native, which is yet to happen, before transitioning. FWIW, PACE announced M1 compatibility for iLok yesterday. So if that was an impediment for developers transitioning to M1, we should see more UB versions of plugins soon...and perhaps iLok for VSLI am not looking to be critical, but both e-licenser and iLok have been around a very long time, so I am surprised that transitioning from using one copy protection scheme to the other is such a big deal.

Yeah, hopefully we'll see VSL/M1 compatibility soon. Other software that I use, such as, VILabs and Native Instruments, that are Universal Binary, run soooo much better than VSL on my M1 MacBook Pro.
It's time VSL. Looking forward to the update.
God Bless,

I see there is a tiered system for transitioning elicenses over to iLok depending on the year purchased. Will whose of us that will have to wait for a while get an email notification of when the iLok license is usable? Also the video you do explaining the transition refers to free s/w not being able to go to a hardware iLok - is the free Epic Orchestra we got when getting VEPro 7 fall under this category?.... aaaaand we're LIVE with iLok!

Hi,
Thanks for watching the video!
There is a lot of information already available in the provided link...
To answer your questions:
Best,
Paul
I've watched all the videos. Very well done. It's obvious you put the work into this to make the transition smooth as possible. Exciting times. Thank you.
A few questions not addressed in the videos (unless I missed it).
1. Since there is no "deposit" button option when linking my VSL account to iLok, that means my spot in the boarding process has not come up yet. Correct?
2. I currently own three VSL licenses purchased in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Will all three of those products be eligible for transfer at the same time?
3. Based on the years my purchases were made, do expect my transfers to be eligible in a few weeks, months, or next year?
4. Will the new Vienna Assistant (iLok) download an M1 (Universal Binary) version of Synchron Pianos?
Thanks for the help.
God Bless,
David

1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) Rather weeks. We're watching the traffic.
4) Not yet...
Best,
Paul
