My comps just recently updated to 1909 and I suppose I'll have to reauthorize now. Thx Just run the XLN installer - it will tell you if you need reauthorize. If you are 'out' of authorizations go to XLN's website and under your account delete authorization for the machine that you are currently using, & reauthorized using installer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Sorrels Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I often get that silly dialog about wrong computer but when I run the XLN installer it never says anything about reauthorizing and acts like everything is fine. And even inside Cakewalk after getting that wrong computer dialog, AD2 loads and works just fine. Usually the dialog only comes up once in a while (maybe OS updates) in this case I'm pretty sure it was running the installer and it updating AD2. It's like it doesn't really mean it or something. But at least I've never been locked out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I don't understand all the hate and pitchforks for XLN? They have good products that sound good. That's all I need. Do I need a shiny new version every year? Nope. They keep what I paid for maintained. That's all I ask... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we'd avoid the mess many of those managers leave on the disk. At least leave us the option to opt out from using a manager (edit: and the XLN manager is still on the better side of the evil).

Piotr Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I wrote to XLN support about madness of forcing to install totally useful versions of plugins and lack of choices for user. Got an answer they are developing it and my concerns will be passed to devels. We will see. I hope they will be caring more about user opinion sent to them than Overlaud (still waiting for fulfilling their promises about Tapedesk controling on many tracks at once).

On a less goofy note, recently picked this up and in general find they do a number of things that make the GEM series pretty useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: just look at all the hell raised by IKM users because they DID NOT have a software manager. Now they do. And it was certainly justified given the astronomical number of downloads with hundreds of GBs involved. I agree that listening to the user, and giving them a choice is always the best solution! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, absolutely, the terrible amount of GBs justifies the need for a manager, I'm just a voice from only one side of the coin . Otoh I have fast network so I managed to download everything by hand without much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
