Dumb question about dongles
Hi
I am configuring a new DAW PC when I am off work. I have a couple of dongles - one from iLok and another that I cannot tell who it is from. As I have gotten older, I have forgotten who I purchased stuff from that required a dongle.
Do you remember anyone besides Pace/iLok?
I hate these things. But I fear I have a couple of paid VSTs that are authorized on that second mystery dongle and I would like to get them back.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Behringer X Touch, UAD Apollo Quad. 2 UAD2 Quads PCI (i think - inside the box whatever that is), Console 1. More guitars (40??) and synths (hard and soft) than talent. Zendrum!!!

Hi SC:
I've been right where you are. I seem to remember that Steinberg had some libraries that used a dongle other than ilok.
Good luck!

Steinberg had/has a dongle. I used it for the Neve EQ/Comp. I don't know what else they used it for. That is the only other dongle I can remember other than iLok.

Logic used to have one. And Steinberg used it for Cubase too.

Thanks all. Maybe it is the eLicenser I am thinking of. Hey THambrecht. I have 2 FF800s. Amazing pieces of gear - no? I hope I get another 10 years out of them. Never seen another product that was quite as alluring. I can push mine down to 1.5msec latency!

The eLicenser is used for Steinberg products as well as VSL software and sample libraries. iLok is used by EastWest and UVI

The original Korg digital synths had a dongle.
The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better. Sonar Platinum, Intel i7 –2600 CPU @ 3.2 GHz, 16 GB ram, 2x2TB internal drives and 1 1TB internal drive, Radeon HD 5570 video card, HP 25" monitor,
