Okay, that was quick. I don't have Windows Defender installed on my system (Win10). I looked in Windows Security > Virus and Threat Protection and nothing (Microsoft-based) is there. So, in lieu of running a Defender scan, I'll just delete the IKM PM and hope for the best.

Thanks, Simon! I'll report back after I'm done...

IKM products are like that hot stock you bought thinking you were going to get rich, yet it keeps decreasing in value. Your better judgment tells you to sell it, but you continue to hold on thinking it will go back up. But it never does. 😕

Actually I haven't used any IKM software for quite a while but thought I'd update what I had and give them another try. Well, IKM never fails to disappoint me. So your suggestion may be the best advice of all.

Uh oh, I updated from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8 a few days ago. Any suggestions for the safest course of action given my ignorance and stupidity (for trusting IKM)?

Do we need to "claim" each of the 12 individual intruments separately, or just get a serial number for the entire collection? If we need to claim each instrument individually, is there a time limit to do so?

I wonder if Asknet Solutions gave Steinberg any notification before entering into self-administered insolvency. They must have been aware of the financial conditions that led them to take this action.

This is a truly fantastic freebie! Thanks, Simeon.

Actually I'm using that combo on my laptop and it's as solid as my RME UCX/Cubase combo.

Personally I'm more interested in hearing about the existing functionality they've broke than the new features they've added. And since it generally takes a few weeks to find all the new bugs, I'm going to hold-off for a while before even thinking about upgrading. Of particular importance in this release is whether we'll still be able to use VST2 plugins. I still use some that I don't want to give up, so it may be a very long time before I move on from v12. Also, v12 was painful for a long time and I don't want to go through that again now that I finally have things working relatively well and am proficient with my numerous work-arounds. My long-term goal is to switch to Studio One, but they're not quite there yet. Hopefully they will be soon.

I really don't think so. The problem was with the way the sale was worded. It didn't seem like mis-pricing to me given just how little changed from MPS5 to MPS6. I assumed iZotope priced this upgrade to generate quick cash.

Are you using the old version of NA (ver 1)? If so, that might be why you don't see it yet.

Or they'll face a Wavesesque debacle of their own. Too many (savvy) folks have already bought it, installed it, and in my case, deleted older versions. I'm not going back! Just try and make me.

Mine too. They'll have to rip this from my cold, dead, GAS-mottled hands!
