Insession Audio doesn’t allow license transfers even though they’re kontakt-player instruments. Stupid.

Yes, they do it and others as well. It is not a technical matter, it is about if the developer wants to or not. SonicCouture handle it for a fee so they are decent. I have started to make a list about terms if you are interested. viewtopic.php?f=42&t=507014bharris22 wrote:Soniccouture seems to have found a way to allow license transfers, though . . .

Yes, agree. It is not a matter of can't, but won't. My point is simply that there are successful developers who permit license transfers of Kontakt sample libraries, and having been burned by 8Dio before I won't buy an expensive library from them again unless and until they do. I would have zero hesitation in buying a Soniccouture library for this reason.

All things being equal, I would like to see transfers available. However, license transfer is fiddly for software/soundware - piracy is bad enough without opening more cans of worms, and dedicating resources to software and admin to handle the licenses. I'm not aware of software transfers being a thing in most other industries?
I generally try demos and watch reviews before I buy something, so I know it meets my needs. I then expect to use it until it's obsolete or I'm dead. Do you guys really do a lot of transfers in reality? I don't see the issue? iLok dongles on the other hand...

You have a practical approach. I am new in the real of sample libraries, but I have bought and sold quite a few pieces of hardware instruments so I know I may find out that I can not play the instruments as I expected or simply get tired of stuff and want to sell them to get something else. So getting tied up with a product until I die is not something I want to do unless it costs like below 30 bucks which can be considered as a one of expendable event fair.squibs wrote:All things being equal, I would like to see transfers available.

Yes, trying demos is good to, but when there are none and only sales hype videos it becomes treacherous.

You too, I wonder how many there are that share our experience. I have been PMed by a handful, but I suspect that it is sadly only a fraction.bharris22 wrote:Yes, agree.

Since this isn't bargain related, maybe the discussion can head over to your already 15 page thread on a similar topic?GearNostalgia wrote:Their terms allow you to use it and also generously to destroy your copymasterhiggins wrote:Insession Audio doesn’t allow license transfers even though they’re kontakt-player instruments.

That thread was all about 8Dio, not about all devs...jsp1979 wrote:Since this isn't bargain related, maybe the discussion can head over to your already 15 page thread on a similar topic?GearNostalgia wrote:Their terms allow you to use it and also generously to destroy your copymasterhiggins wrote:Insession Audio doesn’t allow license transfers even though they’re kontakt-player instruments.
