Looks like you have to buy additional gear even if you have those signature packs from previous versions of AT. I think I'll stick with AT4 for awhile.'
Anyone have issue with AT5 in Cubase? It totally crash my system.
If you wanted XL stuff on more than 2 machines you can't without creating another account. You registration account can only hold 2 machines. This new updater is broken. If you go to the preferences you can't get back out of it.
I'm tired of unique authorizations as well or being removed because of some Windows update. Right now Melodyne is on my shit list. I have Editor v4 and it got deactivated and instead of taking you to an activation page it wants you to buy a new license. Licensing is my first factor on what I buy.
Buy something new and you have to install another download manager.
VSTs installers locating in SteinbergVST is so turn of the century. I have to delete those empty folders.
One thing for sure once you download something be sure to archive it asap.
