Title: analog activation
Post by: johnmcmaster on August 10, 2009, 06:50:17 pm
Thank you Antoine for sending me new activation code   Ive put it in and Analog Factory is working fine now  Just one more query  You say i should get a dongle and put licence on it for back up in case computer crashes again which i am going to do   Now is this a special dongle that i get only from arturia or syncrosoft or can i use any usb stick as i have plenty of them.  Also when i transfer licence on to dongle I  presume i will have to reinstall it back on to hard drive as it will no longer be there after transfer   Is this correct?  If usb stick is no good where can i purchase correct dongle and how much does it cost

The USB-eLicenser hardware dongle is a specific device, with embedded cryptography and other funny things inside; don't confuse it with a common mass storage USB device!
You can use Arturia, Syncrosoft, Steinberg, Korg... or any other branded device, provided it is the correct type: USB-eLicenser. Don't confuse either with other concurrent (therefore incompatible) protection devices, such as PACE iLok or Nalpeiron.
This is available through our online shop (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy) (then consider shipping time and cost from France), or from any decent music shop near your studio; it is often called "Steinberg Key" as used since years by this famous editor.
You will be able to store your license onto, temporarily or permanently, depending on your best comfort/security consideration.
Hope this helps,
Antoine.

Hi , I just buyed Analog Experience and wish to use it 1) on my macbook when traveling, 2) on my PC in my home studio.

I understand I have to buy a key to store my license for that, is it okay if the software has already been installed on the macbook ?

Yep, simply follow the License Transfer process (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/kb_upload/documents/Syncrosoft_License_Transfer_EN.pdf).
