Xoo Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 When someone posts a deal, could they state whether the product needs an iLok dongle or account so that I, and probably others, don't go down a rabbit hole only to find the product does and it's a non-starter? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I've stated this before, so I'll state it again... Please don't ask OTHERS to do YOUR legwork... They are already posting the deals, so you ALSO want them to do the work to check and see if it's compatible with YOUR system? SERIOUSLY? If the deal interests you, then YOU need to do the research and find out if it's compatible with YOUR system - or something you'd want - NOT the person posting the deal. It only takes a few seconds to click through and check "System Requirements"! We do such things as a courtesy most of the time, and I get that this is only a request, but we need to "think things through thoroughly"! Sometimes the OP may just be too busy to do YOUR homework for you. I'm not trying to be mean...just LOGICAL Edited November 2, 2021 by cclarry 21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 i have no issues with iLok. young tele would rather use quality plugins that use iLok than use so so quality product that do not. i am always interested in deals for ilok plugins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 @Kevin Perry You should probably add these publishers to your blacklist then, and don't bother looking into them. I have these activated in my iLok account: AIR Music Akai Eventide Exponential Audio Metric Halo Softube SONiVOX UVI Good luck! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Just another quick word... I've had this same conversation over "Full Kontakt" and "Kontakt Player" in the posts... I do it, when I can, as a courtesy, and I fully understand the request, but people also need to understand that the OP's time is JUST AS VALUABLE as anyone else's time! When I post, I try to verify this, and put it in the post, and iLok, but not always...as sometimes my time is constrained. If others want to post that info, because they actually DID do the homework, that IS helpful, and to them I give thanx for taking THEIR time to do it! 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Walton Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Full Kontakt is a fairly big deal since it requires a hefty investment to get in the door. ilok is annoying but most don't require physical dongles any longer. But most won't authorize to more than 2 machines at a time. Always appreciate knowing what I'm getting into on a deal. Exponential Audio requireing iLok and only giving you 1 single authorization can be a deal breaker for some. I know I picked up two seats for a number of plugins to get what I need. And now try to even avoid using them with the other options I have, though they are really good sounding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate that about Waves too, but it is a toss up for me between that and the unreliable installs and system breaks, WUP practices, and single authorization....they are all bad. Very happy this place lead me to deals with other plugin makers, I feel happier now. But regretful of all the waves "deals" I jumpped on that are now basically worthless.

PavlovsCat Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Can we just add requests to this thread? If so, I'd like a tall latte. Seriously, no offense to the original poster, but step back. If you're not paying people, it's over the top to demand people do the basic product research we all can easily do for ourselves. If you want an assistant, hire an assistant. But you're going to have to pay that assistant to work for you. Otherwise, just click on a link for the product you find of interest and take a few minutes to read. It's really not all that hard to do for yourself instead of expecting others to do it for you.

kitekrazy Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 This forum and KVR are very good about listing iLok. Some developers like to hide their EULA when it comes to machine limit but seem upfront about iLok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rintoul Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Regarding Kontakt, you can probably assume full Kontakt is required unless otherwise stated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Request (not a demand) noted. I forget to do this when I post (often) because I'm generally cool with iLok but I'll try to remember in the future. Same with Kontakt (if known). Same with plug in type; aax, vst only, etc (if known). And same with listing the price in the topic. This is important for future searches to see the best previous price. Or how long the deal is for (if known). I appreciate it when people post additional info, but understand if they don't. Besides, I'll post a deal, and cclarry will come along and let me know he already posted it a day before and it was cheaper on JRRSHOP with code GROUP, FORUM, GROUPAUTOBUY, or the like and then I feel like a chump, even if it's only 8¢ cheaper. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have refrained to reply if i found out it was for Kontakt and didn't mention that in the post. Assumed it was offending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
