Enjoy...

Dear Mr. Eventide: If you remove the iLok requirement to run your products I would be willing to pay you for your product. As is, I'm sorry but we remain at philosophical loggerheads.
 
Regards,

Rodan,
The Ilok license manager is ok. It's virtually identical to the scheme IK uses. The licenses are stored in a specified folder on your computer, ready for immediate access.
I've never owned a physical Ilok, but the manager is pretty transparent.
 
Be sure to watch the videos for the coupon code. This is the "Access Code" for the download.
 

You saw that before I edited it, didn't you?
That's what I get for reading stuff at the end of a 15 hour workday.

Those of us who use Sonar won't be getting the most out of Eventide's UltraChannel. According to the manual, side chain operation works with only AAX and AudioUnits plug-ins, not VST. 

Haven't tried this but looking at the image, it doesn't appear to offer features that aren't already included in the prochannel modules. I'm going to pass. I don't need another freebie VST that I'll try once and have it sit in my VST folder unused.

amazing they give it away for free, without even needing the dongle! :-)

If your that paranoid then become a squatter, have no bank account, no supermarket card, drug store card, never enter a contest, never create accounts on the internet such as forums, Facebook, twitter, instagram.

Or use any Microsoft or Intel product.

I'll never understand why people "won't use and iLok" or " I won't connect my computer to the internet". I guess it's the state of things where people think they are more than they are. Just so you know, they, the establishment or "the man", already know all they need to know about you. It is very difficult to live completely "off the grid". If your that paranoid then become a squatter, have no bank account, no supermarket card, drug store card, never enter a contest, never create accounts on the internet such as forums, Facebook, twitter, instagram. In other words, get over yourself.
 
That said, I haven't tried this yet and I am looking forward to.

I never understand why people prefer strawman arguments to the actual reasons people give. Using the image of people who don't use iLok or connect music computers to internet as paranoid dleusional types is dismissive and insulting. I don't use iLok for a few reasons but the primary one is that installing it caused me issues and it was a royal pain to get rid of. As bitflipper has pointed out, they don't include a legit uninstaller . Completely uninstalling pace software is harder to remove than most viruses. I'm not afraid some evil entity is hacking my computer but I do resent not being able to cleanly uninstall a program if it gives me issues.

Although I don't have an issue with connecting my media production computers to the internet, many do for reasons that extend past your implication they are being paranoid. In a professional environment, time is money and some programs are sensitive to small changes. My former job had a 10k Avid workstation maden useless for a week because an autoupdate of quicktime was not compatible. You would think a simple rollback would have done the trick but like iLok, QT occasioanally does not want to leave quietly and the workstation had to be wiped and everything reinstalled. I know that is extreme case but for some companies thay scenario is not worth risk.

Thanks but not for me. I can't stand i-Lok or anything even remotely connected to it. Plus I don't want to install their software onto my computer. Registering an account? Okay. Fair enough but having to install software??? No way... Besides this plug-in doesn't offer anything that I don't already have in Sonar.

I suppose "authorized virus" might be the right term.  I have never seen a legit program fight so hard to stay on a computer

I always shyed away from using iLok until I bought EWQLSO Platinum which uses iLok for licensing.
 
So I bit the bullet and to be honest, I forget it's plugged into the back of my pc.

Beep, You could download it, create an iLok account and have the license deposited into that account and you should be covered should you decide you want it. I'm not sure if an iLok is required to run UltraChannel but the license shows up on my iLok.
 
I found this:
 
Eventide has announced that their new UltraChannel channel strip effect in VST/AU plugin formats for Windows and Mac is available for free  download until July 8th. On the negative side, an iLok user account is required in order to activate the plugin. On the positive side, the iLok dongle is not a requirement.
 
This is a fantastic plug and no brainer at the current price.

No catch. You just have to install the ilok software and create an account. Honestly I don't think this gives people with x3 producer any added functionality (particularly since side chaining does not work ). The main downside for me may be a non-factor for you and that is the fact that removing the software is a challenge.
