Thanks for the feedback.
I'll be completely open and honest with you. Our products are priced much lower than the usual pricing of a plugin with this kind of sound quality - they won't be always as this cheap. If our products were priced as they should be, you would have two license slots for sure. For now, we are willing to add the second license slot to the same user at a 50% discount, which is the best we can do at the current stage. So if you or any user want a second license, please contact us directly and we will give you a special order link for the additional license.sirbellog wrote: ---
On the other hand, 2 things make me very hesitant about investing further in chineekong :
- for one, it's the single-license, meaning that one can install them only on one machine, which, IMHO, by today's standard's, is a pity, with so many people wishing to compose far away from home on their laptop, or to better share their resources with 2 computers, depending of the nature/size of the project. I think a 2-machines-use would be fine.
We have, as a matter of fact, offically made a statement on our website - but admittedly the link is a tad obscure, but it's also added to the updated user manuals as well - that if for any reason Kong Audio ceases to exist, we promise we'll release a non-C/R protected version for all our registered users prior to the day we stop functioning.sirbellog wrote: - for two (and maybe the most worrysome for me) is the challenge/response scheme for the authorization of the vstis.
This indeed means that if, for whatever reasons, a small and maybe fragile company like chineekong had to suddenly retire from business (I do not wish it of course, but unfortunately those things do happen everyday, especially with small and young companies, which have a not-too-big market), the users who would need to re-install, re-build a system, etc... would, at best, have some trouble to get a new authorization, and at worse, might as well trash the files away, because nobody would be there any more to answer their calls any longer.
Call me pessimistic if you want, but if I had known better about the way those vstis are protected, I would probably not have bought the bundle.

I know that other companies do these C/R thing, and I have a couple of these products.
But in every case, the company is a big one, and has every chance to stay in business for a while, either under its own name, or under another.

If we ever pile up something big, rest assured it will be much more expensive than the competition, and rightfully so.(Don't panic, I don't see that happening anytime soon)
...the sound tuned great and is very useful...i thank the noble sharing
