I agree that it'd be ideal to go with the same copy protection, in particular Nexus' new system, which seems to be the better solution for users. But although Manuel is involved in both products, they are coded by different developers and I bet it's been mostly their decision which copy protection to implement. Whatever the reason, it is what it is

But the Factory content file today? It's expected to take 1 day to 27 hours!!!

This is unacceptable, man. VPS needs to step up their server game - their ISP - something. I'm in the US, which I'm willing to wager is a large chunk of VPS's customer base.
Also can't confirm that. i've downloaded the content this moment with full speed. Maybe you have a bad ping and reboot your internets connection or try www.speedtest.net if you have really 1Gbit actually.

I'm in the US as well and download speeds from Vengeance servers have always been slower than average, but they are particularly slow since the update was released. I assume their servers are getting hammered and can't handle the additional load well.

Keep in mind that server connections from overseas are usually much slower than when you're located where the servers are. Assuming you're downloading from Germany your experience can't really serve as a benchmark for download speeds from the US.

What to do with custom and favorite presets from 1.4 Avenger?
How do I import them into 1.5?

This worked for me with regards to installation of codemeter, activation and install of avenger 1.51

I am on a Windows 10 PC with Cubase 10.5 Pro

This has to be done first before anything !!!!

1. Go to your avenger account and sign in on line
2. In your account you will see a link to go to the codemeter site
3. Download the correct version of codemeter PC or MAC
4. Install on your computer .Follow this link and Follow complete instructions and activate licence and expansions

5. Delete all instances of the avenger program manually and also all expansions from your computer
6. You have to go into your avenger account and download Avenger 1.51 also the factory library and also any and all your expansions you purchased if any. Expansions have been updated to only work with avenger 1.5 .It may take awhile to download the factory library
7. Now you are going to do a complete install of avenger and expansions/ factory library included
8. Install avenger 1.51
9. Open avenger in your daw
10. On screen prompt for factory library that you downloaded/install
11. At this point drag and drop any expansions that you purchased right into the avenger GUI where the libraries are displayed

just for info: if someone says he has "missing content" popup when loading an XP preset, then you know he was using an illegal XP

Any user patches are unchanged, they're where they always were. Looks like it's only Avenger sound banks that need to be specifically updated, because of the copy protection.

I don't use favourites, so can't help you with that one.

So you say my whole factory content is illegal

read again... XP

and no, we are not aware of missing content, if you downloaded the new R7 CONTENT file

It might forlorn, but I hope that for 2.0 Manuel can take a fresh look at the whole thing. It really is pretty convoluted, for people who don't spend their lives on forums it's a minefield, there's so many ways to go wrong. Even the import content button doesn't work.

I'll never fully understand the relationship between Keilworth, ReFx, Vengeance and VPS, but it would be amazing if ReFx could do a deal with Vengeance to use their tech for the installs. It is the slickest part of Nexus 3 actually.

Try to activate your license again.
I did it yesterday and it said it was activated but no factory presets were shown.
Today I activated them again and now I have the presets shown.

@Noiseboy Rene will recode the whole VMAN in the next months, so it works with Codemeter - this will ease up installation even more, to a 1click system. We are not standing still, there will always be progress. And I see not everyone understood the installation correctly, or did it in the correct order.

That'll be a step forward, thanks Manuel.

Glad to hear that! I was able to get everything up and running but it took about a day to figure it all out. Looks like you guys maybe rushed a bit to hit black friday release date

But it's all good, looking forward to the future with Avenger!

I hope he means official XPs. I have some 3rd party XPs which have missing content errors for some reason. It doesn't mean they are illegal.
