I feel the same way about online activation. Any sort of vendor-dependent copy protection, including challenge response is a negative in my book.sprnva wrote: Fri Jun 19, 2026 3:42 pm IMHO it's a step back.

I have most of their plugins via PA and having them on Linux would be great but I just won't deal with online activation anymore.

Quite interesting new sample manager, hopefully further evolving into the right direction.
