The more I look at these channel plugins the more I wish vc-64 could be updated.

Why not back up before installing it? If you have a problem just do a restore.
I backup / restore my daw at least once a month due to all the updates with various software & programs.
Also I except more devs will begin or move to this type of dongle-less iLok authorization process.
 
It's a useful plugin btw, great little freebie. I'm using on projects in place of some go-tos.

Normally Iwould agree, but my experience was that did not work. That is why I compared it to a virus. The iLok software seems to hide. It took a painstaking cleansing of registry and then restore to finally get rid of it for me. It probably was not doing anything malicious but it bugged me that it took so much work to get rid of.

If you did a restore it would work, it wouldn't take much time at all.

Im sure its the cats ass, but after seeing some of the problem posts over at the download site, nope not gonna do it. i dont think Ill miss it much anyway.

Um..I just said I did do a restore and it failed to remove all the pace software. Hence the comparison to a virus. I'm not the only one who has experienced this.  Many people don't even notice that the software (at least in the last version I installed) seems to regenerate after system restore because the program itself does not show up in a way that is noticeable unless you look for it or stumble upon it.

So if a restore didn't remove it, how did you remove it?

Formatted hard drive and then ran command promt software to clean boot table just to make sure.  My computer at the time was full of junk from normal use and it was time anyway so I was not that annoyed. I just know that no matter how many times i used system restore or deleted registry entries "pace anti-piracy..." folders and reg entries kept poppping up.
 

Interesting, glad I never experienced any problems using it all these years.

i'm hoping it was just a fluke for me.  have you ever tried uninstalling?
