Amazed at the amount of reauthorization when you upgrade your system drive.
The only DAWs I didn't have to reauthorize was FL Studio, Acid Pro 9, Mixcraft 10, Reason
Bandlab, Live, S1, Cubase and believe it or not Reaper which also removed previous settings.
Plugins
IK - reauthorize - was easy
Biggest annoyance was PA. If you used up 3, you had to go to the webpage and deactivate. This was about 70 plugins.
This biggest shocker was not having to reauthorize Waves.
This is the beauty of why people favor the physical iLok - you had to do nothing. If you use your drive as an iLok, you would have to contact vendors to reauthorize.
So far no issues with NI or Melda.
