Hello,

just downloaded the 1.5.5 portable package of Toneboosters suite.
The v3 bus and essentials folders now seem to include the plugin keys beside the DLLs.

Mistake or silent release as free for these quite powerful plugins?
I hope the latter, that would be such a smart and generous move...

EDIT: now officially free in download package 1.6.0.

As someone who paid for these bundles, I'm glad if this is intentional. Those plugins are waaaaay too good to be abandoned, and I'd rather them be free than decommissioned. I hope they remain supported for a long time.

There's still no replacement in the V4 lineup for majestic stuff like Sibalance. I believe this is the best de-esser I've tried and is still my go-to, at any price. Free is a great price too.

I just downloaded. It was probably bug. There is no license on the folders...

It's one of my best buy. If it really goes free then it will become The Number 1 best free plugins. Dead Duck's bundle became the 2nd

I was always a bit annoyed by the 'whole package 'download just to try out one synth .
This time It had it advantages

I already had track essentials , now Bus tools free of charge with marvelous reelbus v3 and mastercomp .

Well I don't want to be overly critical but I'm if we should keep the plugin keys. I mean if it was a mistake it's not nice. I also downloaded the pack but now I do not feel so good about having the keyfiles.

I'm curious to see if there's some note from Toneboosters about that...

I downloaded the package yesterday and don't see any licenses so it must have been a mistake. I wouldn't keep the licenses anyway if it was a mistake. Wouldn't feel right.
