I want to suggest a change in licensing that would be a great benefit to all VSL users. Currently, I have my VSI libraries spread out among several Macs and PCs. As I begin to get more familiar with the libraries (and based on the nature of the project on which I am working), I find myself having to transfer licenses between Synchrosoft (Vienna) Keys as I run out of memory on a machine. For example, for one string-heavy project, I filled up my memory on one PC with violins and violas and had to move cellos and basses to another PC. For the next, I needed to split up my brass. Moreover, licenses can only be divided in VSL's pre-defined units -- e.g. Violins and Violas can's be split onto two keys.
This problem could be easily solved by allowing a secondary license for each library. The secondary license could be moved to another key allowing much greater flexibility when working with the libraries. It seems a small thing to offer considering the expense of these libraries. If piracy was a concern, there could even be a test to ensure that a "primary" key existed for at least one library on each machine or by testing across the network to find a "primary" key. I'm sure there are other solutions that can work.
Anyone else have ideas on this topic?
