Softube - Model 84 Polyphonic Synthesizer 50%

When exactly did it start? Nothing on their website. Hopefully tomorrow will be still going on.

I don't have anything Softube yet. Is there anything I should be aware of before entering their ecosystem? Or it's just drop the license, install and enjoy?

I recently had an issue with the Softube manager getting in sync with the iLok License Manager. Even though iLok Manager and the Softube website showed my licenses activated, the plugins were not, and threw an error whenever I tried to use them.

Turns out that I had an older point release of the iLok License Manager, and needed to update it. Also uninstalled/reinstalled Softube manager along the way... that step was likely redundant, as the iLok update was apparently the true fix here. :)

I prefer manually install each software and keep out of any managers unless I'm forced to use (XLN, NI, Waves...)

Well with Softube, the Softube Central downloader is required for installation and activation and MUST be linked to your iLok account. No direct downloads are in my Softube account.

iLok is required but Softube does provide links to installers although they really push Softube Central.

Here is the link to product installers for Mac and Windows https://www.softube.com/support/installing-and-activating/installation

You can configure SC to only download so you can manually install, then using SC to manually activate to target of choice.

I had problems with the default settings installing to the wrong folder and activating to both my C drive and iLok 3

They want me to link their account with ilok whatever that means. That's new to me as I've been always given a redeem code and manually registering in my ilok account. No code with Softube? Or is it again something they push but I can't find a workaround.

They use iLok software to manage licenses. You will need to install iLok. I think their software manage will do it for you.

I have long time iLok installed, I use machine registration. Central is no no, I hate managers. I also don't like linking accounts but I will link if it's the only way. Thanks

acha, the code is for registering software at softube account when purchased from a dealer, then they will deposit the license in my ilok account = need to link the accounts either way :) 

thanks, looks like that's the only way they do it

when i bought from PB, I just logged into the Softube site and registered the code and the product show up on my list of products. From where I can download it or use the central manager.  hope this helps.
