Wait till you start learning about all the features and details that have been added since you last used DP. You won't believe all that it does now. And… as always, it's amazing.Morpheo wrote:After about 15 years of using DP back when the "D" wasn't there (and recently trying to find something to like in Logic, but so far without much luck lol), I figured it was time to get more involved with you guys over at unic..wait........motunation! Of all the daws I've used, I feel at home with DP like no other. But well, that's a different discussion...

Thanks. You can see how that quote about the process is maybe a little confusing. It suggests that it will auto-deactivate one of your systems. Not sure how that could happen except with an Internet connection.Shooshie wrote:I don't know how it works now, because they seem to have changed their authorization system, but in the past I've always installed DP on several Macs in my possession, and it always worked, regardless of which one I was using.
...unless your DP computer is offline; then the 2nd option is a challenge/response. (I didn't do it that way, as I took both my tower and my laptop online for the authorization.)Morpheo wrote:taka wrote:Now..."challenge/response"?..... Am I missing something? You just need to enter your serial number then the 'activation wizard' contacts MOTU to validate the authorization/installation. No challenge/response...
Though you might be right about the rest, I checked MSs policy the other day, and in all cases, they allow 2 installs. Thinking back, that's been the case as long as I can remember.bayswater wrote:Lots of software I've had says it can only be installed on one CPU. I think most MS software was that way.
Then MS changed their policy at some point. I haven't had any of their stuff for a few years.Prime Mover wrote:Though you might be right about the rest, I checked MSs policy the other day, and in all cases, they allow 2 installs.

As for authorization techniques. I can't think of anything better than Waves' new system. Both dongle AND dongle-less, and no iLok required for either.
I don't understand this. Do the Macs already activated have to be on line when you activate a third?mikehalloran wrote:Prior activations are shut down. In your case, you can install it on your six. You will not be able to use it on more than two at a time.
