    Hi VSL,

    the point is: when I disconnect my music machines from the internet/network completely (because of performance reasons), I do not have a choice: I have to purchase a hardware iLOK key for every machine! I do not understand why VSL doesn't allow hardware/machine based iLOK activations, like other vendors do - UVI, for instance. I'm using this for some time now without any problems. Any chance that this will be coming?

    After all, this was the *real* dongle free activation concept!

    Best regards,
    Hans

    Thanks for the (as always) fast reply. Unfortunately paying customers like me have to deal with these inconveniences, that ass*** stealing your software are causing. I understand you, but it's still a pity.

    BTW: doubling the question on YouTube wasn't necessary, I see now. I simply underestimated that you usually read and answer questions fast anywhere!

    Best regards,
    Hans
