Why should I update to V-Collection 4?
« on: January 11, 2015, 05:24:57 pm »
Hi,

I have to say that I'm very dissapointed of the new ASC.

And this is the reason why:

My DAW has no connection to the internet and will never have. Therefore
it is still fast and reliable. So I need offline activation mandatory.
With the old eLicenser and a second computer really no problem
to transfer the license to the USB-dongle. Just start the software,
add a new license and transfer it to the dongle. And take it
to the computer which you're working with.

OK, Arturia's ASC has an offline option too. So I tried as a test to update
the Analog Lab from my V-Collection 3 to the latest version. And I generated
the code, uploaded it as demanded. This was last year, 30th Dec. 2014.
And I have still no response. >:(
"(Offen) Offline licences file generation - Germany"

OK, then I tried the new synth in demo mode out of Lab. What can I say?
Yes they are sounding good, as expected from Arturia.

But:
-Solina V is crackling when die convolution-reverb is on. And CPU load is not the reason.
-Matrix 12 is a monster regarding CPU power consumption. Never had
such a VSTi making so much load... just comparing it to the beautiful sounding
mini V and its CPU load. No reason for beeing so hungry.
-VOX: sounds good, but I did not test further more.

Waiting more than 12 days for a license code because offline activation does not work
(it's really Off-line). What does this mean to me, if I would update all of
my V-Connection 3 and If I made an upgrade to VC 4 for the rest?

I decided to stay with VC3 and don't do an upgrade. Sorry.

Regards, m1ke

BTW: Native Instruments's offline license generation works fine for years.

Thank you David for your support, now the Analog Lab update works.

I'm waiting for the second offline activation for more than three weeks now, see also:

Perhaps David from support could help me another time? That would be nice really. Thanks.

Finally I did the update to VC4. Artuia's synth sound very good. I like the sound.

AND: the offline activation took below 30 sec. for the respond.
Now this works as expected. :D
