Plugin Alliance Adds USB Flash Drive Activation to Licensing System
Plugin Alliance LLC – a growing family of effects plugins modeling gear by manufacturers like Brainworx, Mäag Audio, SPL, and Vertigo Sound – has added USB flash drive activation to its licensing system.
Plugin Alliance has always prioritized an easy-to-use licensing system (using a single file to manage all licenses for activation on up to three computers). Via this system, clicking Activate when launching a new plug-in for the first time downloads a new license file to the computer in question from the Plugin Alliance server.
The new activation system is as simple, and more flexible – offering users freedom to roam by transferring their licenses and plug-in installers to a single standard USB flash drive requiring only one USB port.
According to Plugin Alliance…
“A USB flash drive can be used to run Plugin Alliance plug-ins on other computers without having to activate those specific machines beforehand; plug-ins can be quickly copied onto different computers (or Avid’s VENUE live sound production systems) on a temporary basis before being deleted with no need to deactivate the computer (and/or console) afterwards – making it a perfect solution for touring FOH engineers or recording engineers who regularly work in different studios.”
Plugin Alliance has tested its new ‘roaming’ license system with Waves’ License Center-based equivalent while Waves did likewise; both companies are happy to report that users can use the same USB flash drive for their Plugin Alliance and Waves plug-ins and license files without interfering with each other.
