    I have a licensed copy of VEP 6, and I soon plan to extend my audio recording resources to two or three additional computers. Suppose I run a VEP 6 Server instance on my main MacBook Pro computer running OS X Mojave and VEP 6 Client instances on external Windows 10 systems. As an example, if I wanted to run multiple instances of Kontakt, UVI Workstation and other VSTi plugins and multiple instances of VST effects plugins, with the various plugin instances distributed across the VEP 6 Server/Client instances, would I need to have the plugins installed on each of the external systems, or would VEP 6 manage the collective computing resources such that the plugins are only required to live on my main computer? Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

    Welcome aspsa, 

    The plug-ins need to be installed on each computer you want to use them on.

    Best,

    Thank you for the reply, Paul. One additional question, if I may. Suppose I gathered all my VSL and non-VSL sample libraries onto a network attached storage (NAS) device over the same LAN referenced by VEP, assuming the device has a high enough bandwidth and speed for real-time audio streaming. Will the VEP server & client instances be able to share these sample libraries concurrently from the NAS?
