 (as I type this, Vienna Assistant can't log me in for whatever reason).

They, and Steinberg, log someone in via default browser. Someone would have log in trouble if: the software (installer) couldn't invoke the browser to open their login URL, or, -- happened to me for Steinberg (and I can't recall how did I fix it) -- the browser (after log someone in) couldn't pass the baton back to the calling software.

• It is not transparent (a typical Melda problem also in the plugins) what happens if you update only some of your licensed plugins.
• The offline installation is horrible.
• There is no way to have different plugin versions in parallel. E.g. it was a horror installing the new MTrackAlign (beta), because I first had to update all other plugins to the newest version.
• Their kind of plugin folder substructure cannot be costomized (I have already a similar structure in the VST3 folder and don't want to have Melda's in addition. So it is a laborious move task => I made a script).

I personally have no issue with any of those, but yeah, that's a thing, their installation process, even before MPluginManager, is just something I let do its thing and keep my hands off. I trust it to know what it's doing or at least not to ruin anything.

Fortunately, in the dozen years or so that I've been a big user of their products, MeldaProduction have never shipped a product, even a beta version, that didn't function perfectly as advertised for me. I've never had to roll anything back, never had to dive into the file system, none of that. The only hassle I've run into with them as far as installation was when I wanted to move my MSoundFactory samples to a different drive. I hacked at it and hacked at it, asked on their forum, bla bla bla, and finally threw up my hands and let the installer download it all over again. It took way less time to just start fresh than I spent trying to get MSoundFactory or MPluginManager to recognize my changed sample location.
