I'm experiencing the same issue. I also noticed that my connection status showed ASC was offline. I reinstalled v1.5.0.712 and it finally connected, but still takes several minutes to synchronize.

Recently purchased V6 collection upgrade, tried updating ASC, now ASC stuck at "Please wait, license synchronization in progress".

*update* after about half an hour of cycling between uninstalling and re-installing, eventually able to access products

There's very clearly some issue with the servers, 20:50GMT and it's still taking 10+ minutes to even log in let alone synchronise my licences.

I'm having same issue, login takes forever, sync eventually kicks me back to login page.  Can't activate my license of Pigments.

I've been experiencing the same problem, and the application hangs in the background while using up valuable CPU (showing as 'Not Responding' in Activity Monitor in OSX)

Getting the same thing here; it seems to have started the same time Pigments was released. I can get to my Arturia account no problem. Today it also asked to register my computer. Maybe the server has gone on holiday?

edit for additional:Just after I hit the submit button for my post here ASC finally came up with my instruments, etc. All told time was 30 minutes. Time enough for me to do the brekkie dishes and brew up some Earl Grey.

One more here...all my products are in demo mode only for 5-6 days now. I got a response from Arturia saying there was a server error and it was being worked on and should be resolved in a few hours. This was Dec 14th. Then when I chased them I got exactly the same email text 4 days later.

If there is an issue Arturia should put something public out there on their webpage/social etc to let their customers know. Will save them getting a flood of case requests and keep us better informed of what's actually going on.

I purchased both pigments and V collection and am having the same problem. No acknowledgment at all from arturia that there are issues with ASC thought they did say they are working on a fix for offline registration. 
Has anyone who posted here earlier had any success with syncing through ASC? anything I should try other than what is already mentioned on the troubleshooting section of the website?
Have tried "Deactivate All" that comes up with a "failed to deactivate" error, tried deleting the preference file from program data and I checked my firewall settings.


I've been waiting weeks to use this new software and am getting very little feedback from the service department as to what's happening. It's extremely frustrating and disappointing

It seems that ASC functions differently at different times of the day. And on different days. Some days it's perfectly fine and fast and other days it takes upwards of 5 minutes to get through.

Support@Arturia told me the issues with ASC could be a result of a strong demand for/many installs of Pigments. Assuming that Pigments isn't the new Microsoft Office or a Netflix blockbuster, this could be a realistic demonstration of their poor server performance :-\

Yeah that's kinda normal. Browse through the forum and a pattern appears. It really doesn't look great to new customers. They don't even take the opportunity to announce on their website or forum that there are difficulties. Tip: raise a support ticket, they are obliged to respond to that I believe.

I should stand up for support team, even if the technical problems are obvious. But they answer fast, help where they can and show responsibility for the issues. So don't write dozens of posts here in the forum and open a ticket instead.

It's a pity that they don't have a real ticket management system where you could see all your tickets and i.e. reopen them by need.

I agree to a point, and I recommended the same on the other page. But if you have to raise a ticket to get an answer, I have to wonder what is the point of these 'technical issues' subforums.

I would usually only raise a ticket if I had an issue which I figured was unique to me, such as log-in issues or licence management. I would raise anything I thought had wider implications through these 'technical issues' subforums, on the assumption that they are being proactively monitored by and responded to by Arturia staff. If they are not, then technically they are pointless.

I've been having the exact same issues as everyone else, but today I couldn't update Pigments through ASC.  Other people have recommended going to the resource pages of the synths that didn't download to download the file directly, and I couldn't download it from there either, I kept getting a white blank page. I do server side support where I'm from so I started comparing locations that download and ones that do not, Pigments WIN didn't download but Pigments MAC did, etc.  Here is what finally allowed me to download the file...

Solution:
Code: [Select]
I changed the current link
http://downloads.arturia.net/products/pigments/soft/Pigments_1_1_1_503.exe
to
https://downloads.arturia.net/products/pigments/soft/Pigments_1_1_1_503.exe
and it worked!
