Title: Spark VDM end of demo mode? & keeps crashing.
Post by: JL on April 29, 2015, 03:09:49 am

hey all ----

seems VDM is going into mute/end of demo mode (see pic) even though I've purchased & activated via the elicence app.  Registration is confirmed on my acct. Arturia.  Anyone else having this?

even with its quirks, still loving VDM.   Unfort. it also crashes most sessions in Logic 8 on OSX 10.8.5, while all other plugs continue to work fine.

…regular fix is to ditch the cache pref. in User > Library > Caches > com.apple.audiounits.cache - plugs are re-scanned then VDM works. 

unfort. still cant load VDM into old song projects though.

anyone else having any of the above issues?   or found suitable/permanent fixes?

cheers & thnx in adv. for any info

JL

I'm having the same issue.  I noticed it started this week when I updated to OSX 10.10.3   I've sent a request to the support team on this.  The only workaround is very disruptive (I have to restart Logic Pro).

Hi I'm not a vdm user but have you got the eliecencer plugged in as this is not supported by the new ASC.

hey Terry thnx for the reply ------     yep i guess its plugged in - i dont think the elicencer has to be running behind Logic, but i'll try it.    the elicencer confirms i've a full licence w/o restrictions (see pic) - but the random crashes and/or the 'end of demo mode' window is a drag....     i'll persevere.     

hey shabbyroad --- yup thats it, gotta re-start and all returns.  ...unless the AU manager cant/doesnt scan VDM, then i've got to ditch the cache file.   boo. 

 cheers  J.
