  • Vienna Ensemble 7

    Hello,

    I'm just finishing up with all of my iLok downloads and noticed that I have the following available:

    Vienna Ensemble Pro 7.1.1239

    and

    Vienna Ensemble 7.1.67

    Am I correct in assuming I do not have to install the Vienna Ensemble if I have the Pro?  Is there any reason I should install the Vienna Ensemble (non pro)?

    Thank you.


  • I believe the VE version is available for 'compatibility' purposes only, same as for the VI Player.

    Pretty sure there are some users who have been using the non-pro version of either or both VI and VE for a long time and who perhaps would - understandably - be aggrieved if forcibly taken out of their familiar territory by having to switch to Pro versions for iLok - even for free.

    Yes you're right, for users of Pro versions of both, there's no reason to install the non-Pro iLok versions.

    Paul will of course correct me if I'm wrong and might perhaps give us more of the thinking behind the iLok VSL product lineup. But right now I hope he's deep into some much needed sleep.

    Thank you, Macker.  I appreciate your response.
