Hi... has any one with IK software had issues when getting a new hard drive? I want to put a bigger one in my macbook. But I'm thinking the software might think its a different computer. Has anyone had experience of this, good or bad?
thanks..

yep it does
I had a rant that I think was moved to the moan zone about it...Lost one authorisation on all my IK stuff, no other software asked for reauthorisation
, although in fairness I am not sure if it was the new hard sample hard drive or removing the old sample hard drive to become my c drive which did it.

nope nope and nope.hibidy wrote:anything challenge/response is going to look at a new hard drive as a new digital ID.
I have several software that uses challenge response.... NI stuff, Spectrasonics stuff others only ONE manufacturers software that I own had this problem.

That is an odd one.
I've done a gazzilion clean installs mac AND pc in the past but have not had problems with IK

Spectrasonics is the kindest C/R I know of (has allowed different installs numerous times) , They really just want the serial numberzvenx wrote:nope nope and nope.hibidy wrote:anything challenge/response is going to look at a new hard drive as a new digital ID.

NI has always requested a new response for any kind of new challenge, though I believe the NI center does this far more efficiently than before.
Anyways, not trying to argue, just stating what has happened to me with C/R

Even propellerheads stuff which although doesn't technically use a c/r but if the id is sufficiently changed will prompt you to reenter the password and the install cd's even those didn't budge only IK.

yes, sorry, I used your forum because I thought there would be a little experience here, and a quick answer.
I did go to IK support, but needed to specify software products/versions/serials etc. a whole bunch of stuff that was irrelevant to my simple question, and which I don't have here at work. So i bailed outa there...
There's no problem, just wanted a heads up about what I could expect after a hardware upgrade.

Any copy protection that includes a system ID will have issues with new hard drives.someone called simon wrote:There's no problem, just wanted a heads up about what I could expect after a hardware upgrade.

IKMs so called copy protection is a major PITA. Look at my thread in the effects forum. Almost 3 weeks now and no solution ...

I know exactly what you mean. That form is absolutely terrible. It's clearly designed to prevent you from bothering them.someone called simon wrote:I did go to IK support, but needed to specify software products/versions/serials etc. a whole bunch of stuff that was irrelevant to my simple question, and which I don't have here at work.
