I presume that it uses the same VST ID as the original. Hmmm, that's not great - don't really want a time limited demo overwriting a valid installation.

Ran cake and the scanner was stuck on Loom.dll. Closed cake to find that underneath was a dialog box asking for license info. So I got the license, installed into Ilok. Ran Cake and no scan, no loom detected. So I ran the full scan from the manager and Loom found. Loom was under "Instrument" tab listed under Uncategorized . Set it to synth and all is good. Syphus I'll have a look at that later, but now I've learned that it replaces the existing .dll I'm not sure I want an expiring demo to do that.

It's not a time limited demo, its the full version of Loom 2. Looking at my iLok entry for Loom v2 shows no expiration date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just relating my story . . . If you have it installed and license set in your Ilok account. Just re-scan your plugins with the "Plugin Manager" (Utilities> Cakewalk Plug-in Manager). You should be good at that point. Syphus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be good at that point. For years, Noel has recommended running the scanner from preferences NOT the plug-in manager. It might be a good idea to get in the habit of using preferences whenever possible and restricting use of the plug-in manager only when necessary such as exclude list and plug-in layout management. My experiences suggest always activating iLok plug-ins before their initial scan regardless of the manufacturer. Failing to do so can result in the plug-ins being banished to the exclude list. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting... I will do that next time . . . Although, now I'm curious as to why . . . I will search the old forums and see what I can find . . . Thanks for the info . . . Once again . . .
