This is true for me if there are only install managers, because each time I open the IM, first, it has to update itself, then I have to search the thing to install, then most of them install very slowly, then they install to locations other than I use or they install things that I don't want, i.e. I have to do changes manually, then I have to do the whole thing on my 2 other pcs, too, what a pain!

I just noticed that SSL supports now only installation with their IM (they're not the only company doing this). That's quite crazy for an iLok company IMHO! This 10-doubles the system resources (and time) required to install one single plugin. Why do the young generation university people always make our life so troublesome and elaborately? That's why I had to assemble my own zip files for installation on my offline system! Mad!

IMHO it is strange with both iZotope and NI Komplete upgrades: If you own the last or 2nd last version often you pay the same update price as someone else that has a very old version of the product! For me Komplete 14 (I have 13) had only 3 new products that I was interested in, so in the end I decided to upgrade Kontakt 7 alone. Maybe when there is Komplete 18 it will be interesting to upgrade again! 😆

Frankly, this kind of customer milking is sad. It's the same with NI (Komplete) and others. I would accept a reasonable update price from a last version. But if I look at the poor improvements and the price, I think these are ridiculous upgrades. Usually no one is interested in all the additions and for 1 or 2 small additions that you really use the price is not justified.

For me the possibility to enter values immediately is worth the update alone. 😉 But it's minimum the 4th method to enter values (double click on labels, double click values, left-click values and right click values). It is a real challenge to know for each plugin how to do it, a standard would be a great thing!

I think EW have very special, interesting products. That's why I have purchased another product. But what a mess with their installation/activation! With iLok it should be very easy and without trouble. Yesterday it took me almost one day to get it installed. Still it doesn't work in all my daws. Today I will try Play instead of Opus. I hope that helps! EDIT: Cool, the last version of Play works without issue! It proves that updates and new versions don't always make compatibility better (as plugin developers claim and some people believe).

Frankly, I don't like their installation and authorization theme. It made me a lot of headache to put their stuff on my usually offline pc's. Also their intransparent installation without a target path for the sound blobs is ridiculous (you have to move them afterwards) and their installation app ... ! All in all such stuff keeps me from making music and converts me into a plugin plumber as it takes so much time and resources. Hence I guess I pass on this sale, even if it is tempting!

Frankly, at Harrison it has become almost impossible to find out what authorization is valid for what? Whether offline authorization is still valid or not? I have given up this company. It's a pity, because they had good authorization once. I only regret that I did not purchase Mixbus 10, the last good version!
-
Top tier companies? Most companies supplying simple authorization that I know are small!
-
The only problem with all these Nomad V2 is that they require a) online authorization and b) online re-authorization after a time period. Therefore I uninstalled all of them and still prefer to use the old versions! Sad! By the way it's the same with the Plug & Mix plugins! The old versions have a user friendly offline key authorization and the new ones are only online!
-
IMHO they only update the plugin manager, not most plugins anymore! What a farce!
-
Frankly, I was aware of this before. But I assume that the re-activation for the new Free Sonar is the same as it has been for CbB in the last months, i.e. re-activation each month. But I don't know if there is still an offline (re-)activation available as with CbB.

As far as I have seen, in the beginning of this deal there were more exceptions, but they have dropped some!
