I mean seriously, just look at this:
That's 12 or 13 separate installs for Collection owners every time there's a minor code change to the base software, 12 or 13 instances of individually accepting each instruments (presumably boilerplate) EULAs, 12 or 13 password entries and the whole thing is around a two hour process. Even Adobe Flash updates are less onerous and those make me spit blood.
Any chance of an Update All button here? This is ridiculous.
This Software Thing needs an Update All Button

I just went through this also. What I realized after going through it though ... is that these were the first updates to many of the packages in years. I am guessing that Arturia had to touch all of them in order to move them into the new software protection scheme. While it was a PITA, it was worth it (for me), for ditching the USB Licenser dongle. I don't think we will have to be going through this many 'touches' regularly. This was a pretty major change to their software protection. Anyway, agree that an "Update All" button would have saved time babysitting this thing.. along with a "Download All" button. It was the individual downloads that kept crapping out on me, having to be restarted.
End of the day though -- everything seems to be working.
