Waldorf software - new licensing system

[Krakatau]

So Arturia abandoned Steinberg eLicenser, and now Waldorf is doing the same.

Except XILS which other third party devs are still using that copy protection system?

XILS let choose between Ilok and e-Licenser AFAIK ?

Very good news,

Does anyone knows how license transfers work now?

Hopefully a lot easier

Is there an uninstaller in windows? I can't find it. If no, how do you uninstall the elicenser version?

Does activating the transfer void the elicenser license?

Awesome! I bought Largo and Nave through NI and this probably why I didn't get an email from Waldorf. But the codes in my NI account worked with the Waldorf eLicenser converter. Just downloading the new versions now to try the authentication.

The elicenser license still works on the previous versions of their software. Much like arturia, the new software revisions don't recognize or use the elicenser.

Same for me. No uninstaller at all on windows . I simply installed the new version over the old version.
I found one issue: The new version include different presets and there are located on another filepath. So I had to point the PPG file browser to the old version presets path to have the old ones in place.

Or you may just copy them to the new place. It's not like they will take too much HD space. They are very small files.

And if you don't plan to use the old version anymore, you may simply delete the old file location even.

so its only good up to the older version?

[masterhiggins]

That's how it was for me. As soon as I downloaded the new version it made me re-authorize with the new scheme. The elicenser was no longer recognized for it.

But installing a prior version will still work with elicenser, and the licence will remain active in the elicenser database?

Yes

There is an uninstaller for the single formats in the specified locations they were installed to. So, for the VST, the uninstaller is in the VST folder you installed to, for the VST3, it's in ProgramFiles/Common FIles/VST3, and so on. Dunno why they didn't add a global uninstaller. Would have been nice.

I have Nave and Largo. I got them installed and authorized with the new keys. They were the only licenses I had on the eLicenser. Does anyone know if now can those eLicenser licenses be removed and eLicenser re-used by someone else? How many authorizations are allowed now using the new system?
