Snark aside, they appear to have addressed the authorization fiasco from the relaunch. ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Nelson Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Where is the link to download the latest version? I see nothing.... just a forum announcement. Confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Looks like it still requires you to be constantly on-line and phoning home to avoid licensing issues. Unacceptable and disappointing. Edited May 25, 2022 by LAGinz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 First time an update was pretty effortless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, You will have to update BFD 3 through the License Manager procedure. No actual link to the update. Kind regards, tecknot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hopefully this will make it reliable for me. I will give it a try tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unacceptable and disappointing. No, you don't have to be constantly online, never have been as far as I know, I have been offline for 2 months give or take, no issues. You just have to be logged into the LM, in other words, don't log out of it, but no need to actually be online. Only need to be online for that once, then every 90 days. Similarish to the CbB practice, except for 3 months instead of 6 months as far as I know, I don't use CbB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why do I need to do anything every 90 days? It’s ridiculous. I don’t use the current version of Cakewalk, but neither Studio One, nor any other plug-in I use has this periodic re-licensing requirement. Love BFD3, but will stay on the pre-migration version and not give InMusic one more penny as long as they stick with this licensing method. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Row Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 It is correct, and corrected you stand. In that case, unfortunately then you won't be giving InMusic one more penny, as it seems that is how it is going to be. I don't like it myself, and planned on staying on the pre InMusic version, then I realized I wouldn't be able to get any future Expansions, take advantage of any future features and fixes, and most of all, likely not be able to use BFD4 when it arrives. So in I jumped, which was fairly painless, as I said, I am offline, or have been offline for 2 months give or take after getting set up with no issues, and will just have to go online for a couple of minutes in another 30 days give or take, then back to offline again. A small price to pay to be able to continue using what to me is the best sounding drum vsti there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffo Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 BFD3 is working flawlessly here, and has done for some time. Thanks for the heads up on the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fret_man Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hmmm, installed the latest LM and can login into my account on their website, but the LM is stuck trying to lob me in. It says the website (which is different from the one I manually go to) is unavailable. I'll keep trying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Anybody else get the issue where Licence Manager continuously tries to download everything again? Mine has been like it since InMusic took over. Other than that PITA the update went OK and everything appears to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for 2 of the many expansion packs I have - go figure (it's because I delete the Mac .dmg installer from the folder, because I don't want it). But it's fine on the other packs.

Heath Row Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 From Drew with regards to having to go online every 90 days to validate authorizations. Quote I am still flying the flag for long-term offline support. As it currently stands, you have to go online every 90 days to validate authorizations. I’d like to see this changed. I’ll post more when I know more. So lets see what he can do, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Glad to hear that. Drew is a good guy….and the only one over there who’s ever really helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
