  • With one license per library, what do people with slave machines do?

    I've not run VE Pro as local host and as a slave simultaneously. I have a USB-C hub that sends ethernet out and a second machine I plan to have do pretty much nothing but be a VE Pro slave machine. Right now I'm transferring libraries and re-downloading a whopper I trashed by mistake and can't really interrupt it to see if this works til tomorrow. If I want to host any VSL on the first host machine how is this possible when the libraries have but the single license? Or do I have to limit the local host VE Pro to non-VSL if I don't have two licenses. I feel reasonably sure people are not buying two licenses for their libraries. I bought the second VE Pro license out of my general awareness historically, €49 I can stand. I mean there's no doubt that VE Pro has to be installed on the second machine (while the libraries are communicated from external drives. Obv. this should go only the one direction, except*).

    But my idea was, and I queried Google AI for it, was the hub with the ethernet out has a Data Port, besides 4 USB ports that are not marked data port so I'm imagining it might share the dongle over this network. Phrased that question more than one way and got the same affirmation: Yes, an Anker USB to Ethernet hub *with a USB data port will allow you to share data over a network; the Ethernet port provides network connectivity, while the USB data port lets you connect a storage device like a flash drive to transfer data over the network to other devices connected to the same network.

    but maybe I'm tripping.


  • I only really need the iLok key to be seen by both.


  • most of plugins have 2 to 3 activation licences , some have only 1 thou. i dont know if that ethernet thing is going to work, best option you got is to active your vst or plugins in to your second computer to . some need usb ilock , it mean another usb ilock.
