Question
What is the advantage of a cm dongle? Dont you have to still install cm software and register in windows?

How do you buy from Wibu? Seems that you have to contact the sales team which appears a bit excessive for a dongle. The MAAT key is only USB 2.0 which can be a hassle if you plug it into a USB-C port since it might only work in one direction. I would be interested in a Wibu key in the MAAT form factor that is fully USB 3.1 compliant. Seems that Wibu has those.

How did you manage to get one directly from Wibu? I Did contact them and they told me I have to buy it from the software developer.
The reply from them is below:

"Hello Sir or Madam,
Thank you for your interest in our solution CodeMeter. Are you user of a protected software? Then you will get the CmDongle from the software vendor. We deliver empty CmDongles but only a programmed CmDongle is helpful. Could you please contact your software vendor? Thank you.
Best regards"

I already have the CM software installed for Reason, but I prefer to have the licence on a dongle - if my machine dies, I don't have to mess around with re-activation (although, in Avenger's case, this may be a moot point given the 90 day forced re-activation shinanigans).

The reply from them is below:

I approached WIBU sales directly and was told that they do not usually sell individual dongles, only in batches of 10 or more, but for some reason they made an exception.

Both the Maat and Wibu keys are version 3 CMStick/B. They are USB 3.1 A-type connector, Hi-Speed USB2.0 certified, USB 1.1 compatible. (taken from the data sheet)

"Hello Sir or Madam,

I did query this with Wibu sales, and Rene before I bought, after seeing this earlier in the thread. However, it's not true - this could have been an honest mistake or misunderstanding by WIBU.

Forgive me for missing that part. As this wonderful thread has been so polluted from meaningless troll posts, I'm not spending relevant time on checking the past discussions.

Can we use the "vocal hooks (even Asian)" in a commercial productions for profit, containing other elements within a song? I'm not sure what the rules are in all the XP's, but in the construction kits, I was told no melodies and no vocals, please advise MS...
