We have been listening to your feedback for years, but significant changes need time, and we had to carefully lay out our vision for the future. While we put our heart and soul into developing ground-breaking products in your best interests, we haven’t accomplished our promise to provide you with the user experience you deserve in every part of Steinberg’s technologies in recent time.
This is the official announcement - or non-announcement depending on how you look at it.įor many of you this is the announcement you have been waiting for a long time. This added to the reluctance of some people to consider products from vendors who use a dongle that takes up a precious USB slot but may not carry many licenses. So many vendors have left eLicenser over the years, that Steinberg and VSL were about the only ones left that still used it.

So some people are looking for free dongles for now, so they can grab a few VSL libs knowing that they will soon be able to consolidate them to their existing iLok dongles. Some people held off on VSL due to the eLicenser, but they promise that license transfer will be free and easy once the iLok system is set up for their libraries. As I'm not charging anything for them, I hope it is not against forum policy to make this freebie offer for forum members. I ordered an iLok V3 from Sweetwater tonight, as my iLok V2 is full now, and I have a gazillion VSL licenses.Īs with HC above, I can part with extra eLicensers and iLoks (V1 and V2) for anyone who needs them as a stop-gap.
That statement has now been challenged, but it may be an issue of semantics, if Steinberg is allowing iLok Cloud so that a dongle isn't an absolute requirement (the original statement was that Steinberg is dropping dongles). Someone said elsewhere that Steinberg is also moving to iLok there was speculation earlier that they were switching to a different type of authentication.
