Unfortunately most large companies will never go serial number only so the choices will still remain a "kill switch" or intrusive extra software, some of which is third party that can affect system stability and security and can also be used as a kill switch. (what if iLok goes out of business and so on)Your point? ...My point? Some of us don't want ANY kill switch in the software we purchase.Some of us just want to buy a plugin, install it, authorize it, and get to work.
How about calling it what it is, without the marketing BS, a KILL SWITCH.
In an ideal world we wouldn't even need a serial number but the world we live in is far from ideal.
All I can do is pass on to company representatives like the one in this thread my desire to purchase some of their plugins if they didn't include the need for extra software that according to some reports can be wonky.
I hold very little hope that it will change the way Roland in this case does business but again I reserve the right to make my voice heard.
The fear of Challenge Response is that the company will go under and not provide a way to authorize the software in the future but of all the companies in the market, I fear Roland going under less than almost any other.
So again if Roland were to provide a C/R option they would have a customer. If not then I'll be back next year to say the same thing.
