Thank you. I wonder how they waive the iLok transfer fee, any idea? Because this is interesting and probably the only exception I have come across yet.

Also, I believe if I were to buy it from Plugin Boutique the above would still hold true since I will just need to redeem the activation code in iLok and could transfer it from there as usual? EDIT: Seems this should be possible as per https://help.pluginboutique.com/hc/en-u ... meone-else

I don't see a demo and hence I want to make sure the license transfer is possible in any and all cases in case I don't find it suitable later.

iZotope do it with their Exponential Audio stuff too. But, knowing that and mentioning it to other developers has so far led to them refusing to do so in my experience. :shrug:

I would need to check their email, but I think they issue a new serial number and presumably cancel the old one.

Do you mean iZotope says no to license transfers of products bought via Plugin Boutique? or Plugin Boutique has any say on that? Based on the link above, it looks like PB is simply asking us to contact the respective vendor for the license transfer.

I see. So that means we don't need to use the iLok license transfer system and simply email them for requesting license transfer? Guess this is the only way they waive off the $25 transfer fee.

Oh, sorry, no... I meant that iZotope also waive the iLok fee for their Exponential Audio transfers.

I really don't know, but another user in KVR told me that now Exp Audio licenses doesn't have the iLok fee and the iZotope team make the transfer for you without the fee. (I know, it sounds crazy, but I haven't tried yet to be sure).

My question is, in that way, could I get more than one activation? Because Exponential Audio gives you only one activation to their reverbs. It's annoying for me, because I have more than one pc and now I'm starting to work on another studio and I need my plugins 😅

Okay, great. Thanks for the information. :)

However, I assume they have a way to disable the license that is in the seller's iLok, because only deactivating the license won't help.

I can confirm it's true. That's what I was explaining to LoveEnigma18; I've done it myself with iZotope and they did the transfer without having to pay the fee.

I'm not sure about that, as I only had 1 reverb (R4) and Excalibur, and they only had 1 activation each too. You'd have to ask them directly. The responses from their support team are usually pretty decent in terms of wait times.

I don't know if someone posted this before, but IK Multimedia are offering the Vintage 670 Comp (fairchild) for free, after completing a survey. :party:

I always found that a strange thing to do from iZotope. Because, at least if I remember correctly, they do not recall your iLok license either. They just issue a new one to the new owner. I could be wrong, but I think I still have valid iLok licenses in my account that are for plugins that I transferred to a new owner through iZotope support.
