NI have announced they will no longer activate discontinued products

People make mistakes. What they do to rectify the situation is what's important

True. The problem is in repeatedly making similar mistakes. A corporation is technically immortal, so the people that make up that corporation can change over time, resulting in it seemingly never learning from its own past mistakes (hello, Apple).

Some customers will remember, though, and may look at the company as the same entity it’s always seemingly been. This can cause companies to need to change their names to get away from bad public images.

Anyway, the most recent post from Matt @ NI looks positive and I’m happy to give them the benefit of the doubt here, in this specific context. I do still perceive NI as an endangered entity (self-inflicted), due to that whole investor thing (just like Propellerhead).

Will the Computer Music and Future Music magazine coverdisc libraries also be made activate-able with the changes being made via this new realization that people actually want to keep being able to activate their libraries?

I’m not saying it’s necessarily quality content, but it was used as a marketing tool to sell us on those magazines and NI’s Kontakt, and I’m not sure that I want to just consider those materials as useless in my collection of sample DVDs.

aaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!!!!! my 15 year old delay no longer runs!!!!! the world is ending arrrrrrggggghhh!!!

Hey man. Spectral Delay is the biz. There is nothing as straightforward for those effects even on the market. Also the cpu is peanuts on todays’ systems. I’m gonna be pretty bummed if they can’t just let me unlock it with my current serial, or even keep it going with NA. I still use that as much as many much more expensive things I own. And then the licensing thing that happened made it to where no one is using that DSP. I would be bummed to see a good fft Implementation just gone.

Thatwouldn’t be The end of the world though, but the many thousands of dollars I have spent on Kontakt libraries I have from v1 on suddenly stopping for no logical reason would f**k up lots of things I have written and will write.

Read Matt's last post. Spektral Delay has a RAS2 version which means it will continue to be authorizable, just like Pro-53 and B4-II and some others too.

Nice chart.

It would be helpful if you cited the instances and maybe I could address them, but you went for an easy troll post instead.

I went for your easy troll post because your trolling needed to be called out. I assume you have at least an elementary level of comprehension; simply cross reference the chart to your prior posts, and it will be difficult to find a single logical argument in your posts that does not contain a fallacy. Good luck.

But I didn’t get to correct his misconceptions and defend my honor as a logical person...
