I wouldn't worry at all at this stage about that aspect 🙂 This was their exact wording: "In addition, we would like to add that your Best Service User Accounts and associated licenses have not been impacted by this technical incident. Thanks again for your patience." They have said email should be up and running soon and that will be posted on their website when it is, so maybe just keep an eye out.

That's really interesting (but not ideal...). I wonder how common that is. Possibly it could be due to how they obtain the keys for each product, or whether they're holding them. I don't know. They have said there's no need to worry about that side from my understanding, so you should just need to wait a bit longer for them to get back online, but not great if you want to redeem them now.

You will normally have any redemption keys in your emailed invoice from Best Service when you made your purchase, so you should be fine.

Worth noting on this one it's a 6GB install. Not really a fan of the developer either, but it is cheap.

Agreed. I've ended up buying a bunch of products from companies that I only found out about during a glitch that I otherwise wouldn't have bought from. But they're only ones that took it in their stride and never threatened to pull 3rd party products for their oversight. The best approach would have been to simply treat it as advertising, or a loss leader. They had amazing exposure, probably much more than they could've gotten from any paid advertising in that time window, but they managed to tarnish it by being so hostile and aggressive. It doesn't inspire me to want to buy more products from them which is a shame as I had been curious, as some of the things I'd heard sounded quite nice. For contrast, on the exact same day, Heavyocity had a glitch for Vocalise 3 for free. No threatening emails. No disabling codes. I spent time going through their catalogue afterwards as a result and seeing what they had and might even buy something during their sale. If I hadn't just bought EastWest, then I already would have! Great exposure for them and it makes me want to do more business with them.

For me what makes Softube worse, is that they still charge ridiculously expensive prices by today's standards and they provide an installer that's hopeless and has seen no almost no improvements, practically ever and it has serious flaws. It's like them trying to market themselves as a Ferrari and yet, the seats and steering wheel are from Walmart bargain bins. IK positions themselves as high quality, but have very reasonable offers. The previous TS Max was around $89 at one stage. That's about the price of some of Softube's plugins on sale! IK is still improving their installer and they listen to customers feedback... Eventually... Sometimes 🤣 Softube don't care about users feedback about it and do nothing about it. When you say hundreds of GB of presets, are you exaggerating, or are you referring to the samples required for them? Most of their stuff is sample based, so I assume it's that, but I am a little curious. I don't own Total Studio, although I do own just about everything in it. It does take up a lot of space for samples!

You might already own it too. It was also given away free a while ago if I recall correctly.

I gave this one a demo a while ago and was pretty sceptical, but found I actually quite liked it. I didn't buy it yet and it's been around $30 a few times, but I might pick it up in a bundle, or if/when it goes lower. If I didn't already own the OG wideband version, then I would've grabbed it.

Yeah it definitely shouldn't have even been a thing. But I also have a lot of respect for IK for changing that. Installers the majority of them seem to suck. I HATE Softube's. They try and charge $1000 for the Weiss Complete bundle and then are too lazy to even give you options in their installer to stop installing AAX and VST2.! They literally waste a heap of gigabytes and plugin scan times (and sometimes those VST2 /AAX cause issues and crashes during scans) for things I'll never use. I refuse to buy their Volume for that reason alone, as it would reinstall even more every update. The worst part is I don't even need their installer to do more.. I need it literally to do less! Also on a secondary laptop I use that doesn't have much space at times, if I want to update something like Tape, which is only under 100MB, it says there's not enough space until there's around 10GB! It's like they do a space check for every single plugin they make, if you were installing everything at once, instead of just what you're installing 🤣

I'm a bit the same Pat. I collect them like Pokemon, but don't tend to use them (or sometimes even install them!). I've heard a couple are OK and this might be for something different. Hornet on the other hand has some pretty decent plugins in the range. It's easy to overlook them, but some I really like. Totally different quality between those two devs. 2B is another one I just claim and collect though 🤣

installers and activations aren't really their strength.. If they completely overhauled their installer instead of focusing on new plugins as much, it would probably gain them a lot of sales.

All explained in my reply: "I believe he means the fear of them going sub only". Waves basically tried to change the model meaning that everyone that had bought perpetual licenses would never be able to buy, or update them again. Subscription was their only option. It failed horribly for them and was a branding disaster. Their CEO had to backflip 3 days or so later and reverse it and issue a public apology. It was a Waves Fiasco 🤣

I believe he means the fear of them going sub only, AKA the Waves Fiasco...
