That's it. Game over. Now, since they let you put them on 3 machines, That's what I did. Put them on all three of my machines. I just built a new computer and deactivated all PA plugins on that machine. So all my plugins have at least one deactivation on them. If any of the other two machines go down, then I am down to just four deactivations left. Thing is, I know I had them on my home machine and I have rebuilt that one too. I just don't remember if PA plugins were on it at the time. I can see this becoming a problem for those not aware (like me) of this limitation. Also, I can find no where on the web site that tells me how many deactivations I have left. It's been a whilst since I checked but they used to be pretty good about giving extra if you need to . Drop support an email...having said that support has been pretty poor in that last few months so who knows I think you can check your licences here: https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/manage-plugins.html but I also can't see how many deletions you have ? the FAQ says "The deletion limit is a way to prevent abuse, but we do understand that it can be an inconvenience, so we're pretty flexible. If you find that you're getting low on deletions, just contact support and explain why you need to reset your count" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never contacted PA support. Never needed to. Simon looks like he found something. Which is good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It draws more attention that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie Foster Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Just as a note, if you buy Byome, you are eligible for the upgrade to Triad for $49. Although this is more than $29, if you use your $25 monthly voucher, if is only $24. But you will use your voucher. Of course, if you get $50 vouchers, this won't work. Something to think about. Also, you can, or at least you used to be able to put your activations on a USB stick. I had it on my Waves stick and it worked well. I don't know if it is still possible though. But it did make it easy to switch computers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used it before but it is an option to get over deactivations when switching computers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEB-29-A-3HF824TP use that as many times as you like, there is also another one back up a bit, but you only need 1 of the A codes and you can use it again and again. It's all good and legal and all in case you are wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other developer treats the end user like this except for VSL's broken dongle policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke my dongle once, the doctor said it didn't matter what policy I had, I wouldn't be able to have kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my Waves licenses and my PA licenses on the same USB stick. I got a good quality one just for that. I think it's less prone to break than a SSD or magnetic HD. Also, you can upgrade your computer without worrying losing your licenses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
