Years ago some of our plugins used keyfile but right now they don't have copy protection. Bliss, Discovery and Discovery Pro installers perform a online verification. However, after being installed, files can be placed to a offline computer. We provide assistance for that in case the task gets too difficult to do.

No.
It had been a keyfile.
But they changed it to C/R.

They do still support offline activation, but the license keyfile has a time limit. Sorry for any confusion.

As far as I can see, their older plugins use a key file, and their newer ones online activation.

They offer both options ...

Mind that you have 72 hours from the moment when you download the activation file from User Area until you use the Load file option. If you just leave your USB stick for a few days with downloaded file on it and try to use the file to activate the plug-in, it might be the file will be rejected and you will have to download the key file one more time.

Alright.

Quite a PITA though, lol. If you want to avoid online activation, and then jump through such hoops to also get the key file on a online computer, copy it to USB, and take it over to the offline computer etc., I really wonder what the benefit is...

Some people like to keep their DAW computer offline ...

So with D16, after buying their plugin, can you install it offline then activate it offline?

It's difficult for me to decide, but if we follow the criteria, can we install it and activate it offline if we have the serial/keyfile?

Yes, but there's a 72 hour time limit after downloading (see above).

Interesting list. I also like to spend my money primarily on plug-in with serial or keyfile protection. Much more future proof and hassle free.
