Analog Laboratory Demo

[billshideler]

Hi

Yesterday, I downloaded the demo for Arturia Analog Laboratory.  I am getting a warning about the number of "Application Starts" remaining.  Here is a screen capture of the DBX



The demo is supposed to be a time limited demo....15 days.

I purchased the Laboratory 49 yesterday from Hello Music, but I don't expect to have it in my hands until the end of next week at the earliest!

I hope someone here can help me get this issue resolved.  I really need to be able to work through the software until my hardware arrives.

TIA

Bill, I am in the exact same boat (Hello Music and all), but I am hoping that this statement in the eLicenser readme popup holds the key:

- Licenses, which are not usable anymore, because they allow for limited usage periods only, <IM HOPING THIS ACTUALLY MEANS "number of starts"> can be re-activated by validating their license usage periods. To validate license usage periods for all unusable licenses, please click the <Validate License Usage Periods> button.
An Internet connection will be required to complete the process. Please follow the onscreen instructions.

To Arturia -THIS "DUAL LIMITATION" IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS POLICY. 15 days should be 15 days, or 15 starts should be 15 starts, but don't apply BOTH, especially when you don't mention the 15 start limit anywhere that I've seen except the dialog box above.  Copy Protection is enough of a headache without layering on restrictions.

I burned through most of my starts trying to troubleshoot a problem with the VST version crashing when I try to insert it in Reaper.  HERES and idea ... if you're going to count starts, why not wait until the program has successfully STARTED?  I am even wondering if the warning dialog is interfering with the plugin loading.  JUST SAY NO TO STARTCOUNTING.

If it turns out I'm wrong about the reactivation of the license, I'm probably just going to cancel my order...

If still during the time period, this starts-limitation can be reset by a simple process:
 eLicenser Control Center > Actions > Validate License Usage Periods

Thank you for confirming this, I still haven't had a chance to try it.  This gives me more confidence to go ahead and keep retrying to open as a VST!  I really hope I can figure out what is wrong before I have to cancel my order, Analog Factory is great but I have to use it in Reaper!  Thank you again.
