It's here:

If he can't get it there, then I figured he might be in a certain country that doesn't have it available.

The man asked about V8 Collection (synths), not Pigments nor FX. It's gone. And no, VPN wasn't a solution, they check your credit card/Paypal residence as well.

Whoops :dog: you’re right, sorry!

If you're in a country where you can't buy it, I wonder if using a VPN would get it to work? I'm not even certain why it's not working for certain countries in the first place. :?
They’ve apparently pulled the deal because people have had so many issues when ordering it. I tried to buy it via PayPal with a US address but the charge became “pending” and eventually didn’t go through so I was in touch with customer service. He said something about licenses being sent out manually from Arturia, which is why people didn’t get their codes immediately, so I wonder if they decided too many people were getting this deal or something.

Maybe they had a quota or it was simply a marketing campaign to gain new customers, I had never heard of them prior to this, but It's still a heavy loss for me

Maybe KVR should stop showing the Arturia ad on here for "50% off Flagship software" since the sale is over now. For a minute I thought, oh maybe the sale is still running, but of course after clicking on the ad...I saw it's definitely over. 8)

Thank you for confirming. That is quite an interesting scenario then, if he is correct.

One would think Arturia wouldn't be generating brand new VC8 serials considering VC9 is and has been out for some time.

I figured ProAudioStar was selling new old stock. Maybe they had a purchase agreement for a certain number of licenses from a long time ago and had to fulfill their agreement?

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I was thinking.

So it seems Air Music Tech no longer uses iLok?

I'd lost one of my ilok2 dongles a few years back and finally requested all vendors to renew them. Only Air music tech failed to respond out of all of them. But now I realize it's perhaps because they no longer support ilok?

I recently got their free bassline and they have a new centralized plugin downloader app for PC.

So for those who still like Air's stuff, you may wish to grab this upgrade option to renew everything under their new licensing platform: https://www.jrrshop.com/air-music-tech- ... te-upgrade

It now says this at the bottom of the sales page:
Internet access (Download and Authorization)
Notes: No iLok key required

Same I requested one of my Air Music Tech ilok reset, but they haven't responded for weeks. Now after reading this, I am curious how their system works :?
