Tired of having less control with new licenses.

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.

I had exactly the same "joy" with buying another Antares plugin (mic modeller).

My old AVOX 4 plugins (Throat & Aspire) are activated to iLok... but the new plugin is using their new auth system.  I use Aspire & Throat on multiple machines (I've actually got 2 copies, each auth'd to a different iLok), so I didn't want it losing its iLok auth so I can easily go between machines.

I installed the new plugin, being careful to only select mic modeller...  it proceeded to delete Aspire & Throat.

I had to then go back to the old AVOX 4 installer and install Aspire & Throat  (and only those two) again... thankfully it didn't blow away mic modeller.

 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.
